Summary
The ductility of highly irradiated Zircaloy-4 material was evaluated by conducting tube burst, tube tensile, and ring tensile tests on fuel cladding and guide tubes irradiated in two PWRs. The specimen fluence ranged between 9 and 12.3 ¿̐ư 1021 n/cm2 (E > 1 MeV), and test temperatures ranged from 313 to 673 K. The average thickness of the waterside oxide layer on the specimens ranged from 12 to 114 ?m. Specimens with an oxide thickness greater than about 100?m contained regions of spalling oxide and local areas of oxide significantly thicker than the specimen average. The corresponding average hydrogen contents ranged from 40 to 674 ppm for specimens without spalling oxide and estimated to be greater than 950 ppm with spalling. Non-uniform hydride distributions were observed in the specimens due to temperature gradients during operation.
