Effect of process variables on texture and creep of pressurised heavy water reactor pressure tubes

Abstract: Zr-2.5 wt%Nb pressure tubes are used for coolant channels of Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). These pressure tubes are lifetime components of the reactor and have to sustain extremely harsh conditions of temperature, pressure and neutron irradiation during service. One of the major life limiting factors for pressure tubes is diametral creep. This causes dilation of the pressure tube leading to flow bypass and inefficient heat removal from fuel bundles. This underscores the importance of producing pres… Show more
