3D-characterization of deuterium distributions in zirconium oxide scale using high-resolution SIMS

In pressurised water reactors (PWRs), fuel rods are clad with zirconium alloy tubes chosen for their low neutron capture cross section and good oxidation resistance. Understanding cladding-water corrosion reactions at 280–350 °C and the correlated hydrogen pickup into these Zr alloys is crucial to t...
