Description

M5TMis the reference alloy developed by AREVA NP to meet all the demands of today's nuclear market. The excellent corrosion behavior is now clearly demonstrated in a wide range of environment and plant operations ands deeply analyzed up to 7 cycles and a burn up of nearly 80 GWd/tHM. Thus, M5TMis also a good candidate for structure components (guide tube and grid). The corrosion behavior of claddings or guide tube and grids are compared and appears as equivalent. To date he primary water chemistry evolutions (high Li or Zn addition) have no influence on the corrosion of M5TM. Then M5TMpresents all the guarantees to answer to high duty and high burn up demands
