Description

The high purity of the start materials and of the intermediate products obtained by the flux of manufacturing of the nuclear fuel type TRIGA-LEU is very important in determining the quality of the final product. This ensures the attainment of metal-hydrogen equilibrium phase. The presence of oxygen traces affects the rate of achieving the balance. It generally moves towards a low content of hydrogen. This paper presents an experimental method for determining oxygen in zirconium and zirconium alloys. The measuring principle is based on the infrared radiation absorbing property of carbon dioxide. The method is applied to control the oxygen content in materials for nuclear applications. (authors)
