Description
Zircaloys have been used as cladding materials for LWR fuel because of their excellent properties in the viewpoints of neutronics, corrosion and creep during the operation period in nuclear power plant. Recently, however, many LWR plants have been steadily increasing fuel discharging burn-up and power level. The improved zirconium-based alloys should be a prerequisite to meet the requirements of high burn-up fuel. The research and developments of the advanced fuel for high burn-up was started in 1997 by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) in collaboration with Korea Nuclear Fuel Company (KNFC) and several universities in order to meet the global demand on the extension of the fuel discharge burn-up
