Ageing of Zirconium alloy reactor components

  • 1. Post Irradiation Examination Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai (India)

Description

India has two types (PHWRs and BWRs) of commercial reactors under operation, in addition to research reactors. Many of the life limiting critical components in these reactors are fabricated from zirconium. alloys. The progressive degradation of these components caused by the cumulative exposure of high energy neutron radiation with increasing period of reactor operation needs to be monitored to assess the degree of ageing
