Description

AECL is undertaking the qualification of the production of seamless calandria tubes as replacement components for installation in reactors during retubing. Seamless tube prototypes made from Zircaloy-2 possessing a suitable crystallographic texture have been shown to be significantly stronger than seam-welded tubes under both rising pressure and sustained pressure conditions in a simulated reactor loading. This paper describes the seamless calandria tube development program and current status. (author)
