Description

The previously reported model for fast neutron induced growth in Zircaloy has been modified to predict post-irradiation recovery of the growth. The predicted results are compared to growth recovery data obtained by Adamson (1976). Agreement is good if the binding energy between vacancies and depleted zones is reduced from the in-pile value of 1.1 eV to a post-irradiation value of 1.0 eV. Such a reduction is considered reasonable. (Auth.)
