Electron-microscopy of fuel claddings from 0Cr16Ni15Mo3Nb stainless steel irradiated in the Reactor BOR-60 to burn-up 6.12 and 10.8%

Description

Fuel cladding samples from OCr16Ni15Mo3Nb stainless steel have been examined after irradiation in the Reactor BOR-60 to the fluences 4.2 x 1022 and 6.6 x 1022 n/cm2, E > or = 0.1 MeV. Voids, dislocation loops and precipitates are found. It is established that maximum swelling observed near approximately 5000C is equal to 6.5%. Intergranular M23C6 precipitates and intragranular fine dispersed Nb(C,N) and Laves phase type Fe2(Mo, Nb) precipitates due to radiation-induced diffusion are found
