CORROSION RESISTANT ZIRCONIUM ALLOY STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS AND PROCESS OF ENHANCING THEIR CORROSION RESISTANCE IN BOILING WATER REACTOR ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Zirconium-base alloy channels, fuel cladding tubes and other components are made resistant to accelerated pustular corrosion in a boiling water reactor environment by coating them with a small amount of a suitable electronically conducting material.
