Abstract

A novel cladding tube has a cross-section comprising (a) an outer substrate of Zr alloy; (b) a depletion region which extends into the substrate from its inner surface and which has a thickness of more than 10 microns and an alloying element concn. much lower than that in the substrate region outside the depletion region; and (c) a zirconium barrier layer which is bonded to the inner surface of the substrate and which has, at its inner surface, an alloying element concn. sufficient to withstand accelerated corrosion. Also claimed is a process for prodn. of a zircalloy cladding tube for holding fissile material in water cooled nuclear fission reactors.
