Effects of hydrogen uptake and yttrium doping on the oxidation of zirconium-yttrium alloys
Zirconium-based fuel cladding used in nuclear reactors is susceptible to significant hydrogen uptake during normal operating conditions. This results in the formation of zirconium hydride. The nucleation of a brittle hydride phase results in a degradation of cladding mechanical properties in the …
