[en] A description is given of the physical properties, metallurgical structure, compatibility, and mechanical properties of the 20Cr-25Ni-Nb stabilized austenitic steel cladding used in current UK commercial advanced gas-cooled reactors. It is shown how limitations in mechanical strength and structural stability have led to the adoption of a thin-walled, weak cladding design for the fuel pins. Some recent experiments are mentioned which are aimed at developing a strong, stable free-standing fuel cladding through alloying the steel with TiN particles. (author)
