چکیده
Delayed hydride cracking (DHC) remains an important phenomenon when considering cladding mechanical integrity during transport and storage of spent nuclear fuel. This work studies the hydrogen diffusion precipitation patterns DHC as a function temperature via high-resolution neutron imaging. Zircaloy-2 tubes with without inner liner were radially cracked from outside-in direction within range 210–360 °C. A quantitative analysis was performed on radiographs showing average radial concentration around crack tip. The results show trend increase in local precipitated tip temperature. elevated concentrations correlate amount solid solution available to diffuse towards well tensile stresses at

Flexible sample environment for high resolution neutron imaging at high temperatures in controlled atmosphere.
High material penetration by neutrons allows for experiments using sophisticated sample environments providing complex conditions. Thus, neutron imaging holds potential for performing in situ nondestructive measurements on large samples or even full technological systems, which are not possible with any other technique. This paper presents a new sample environment for in situ high resolution ne...
متن کاملCalculation of MnO Activity in Aluminate Slags at Various Temperatures
In this research, the activity of MnO, produced during steel making in aluminate-rich slags, was investigated. According to thermodynamic equations and mathematical calculation, a series of relations was obtained for evaluation of oxide activity using Masson’s theory. The obtained relations were solved according to Levenberg- Marquardt method and using Matlab software. The results were correlat...
متن کاملApplication of Neutron Radiography and Neutron Diffraction Techniques in Study of Zirconium Hydride Blisters in Zirconium Based Pressure Tube Materials
A programme of examining hydride blisters created in the laboratory on zircaloy pressure tubes and that in the irradiated pressure tube from one of the PHWR , which was suspected to have developed hydride blisters, was undertaken using neutron radiography. It was observed that a zirconium hydride blister of nearly 0.35% of job thickness could be detected using neutron radiography. This work ser...
