Long-Term Irradiation Growth in Zirconium Alloys
SourceThis paper reviews the experimental research program on irradiation growth in zirconium alloys performed by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority between 1975 and 1988. The original technological objectives of the program, key aspects of rig and test specimen design, experiments aimed at improving fundamental understanding of the growth process, and key final results on long-term growth behavior are described. Our recollections of the program are given in relation to the understanding of irradiation growth mechanisms that prevailed at the beginning and end of the research program.
