Evaluation of the Zirconium Hydride Morphology at the Flaws in the CANDU Pressure Tube Using a Novel Metric by Alexandra Ion Jinga, Mărioara Abrudeanu, Vasile Radu, Alexandru Niţu, Livia Stoica, Denisa Toma, Mircea Ionuţ Petrescu

“…The Zr-2.5%Nb alloy used to manufacture the pressure tubes for the CANDU 600 power plant experiences continual corrosion when the reactor’s fuel channels are functioning normally. Analysis of the hydrogen accumulation circumstances, the creation of zirconium hydride platelets, evaluation of the platelets’ reorientation in the thermo–mechanical field at volumetric flaws, and determination of the hydrogen morphology are therefore significant goals of the worldwide research being conducted in this field. …”
