Nucleotidings

      “Shadow corrosion” affects the zirconium alloy (Zircaloy) used to clad nuclear fuel rods. This creates images of nearby parts on their surface. The damage is a thicker layer of zirconium oxide similar to a layer of rust on steel. It looks like the shadow of the neighboring part had been imprinted on the Zircaloy. It can also create pinholes in the Zircaloy cladding layer on the fuel rods.

     The U.S. Department of Energy's (DoE) Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP) is dedicated to help our domestic nuclear industry demonstrate their advanced reactor designs on accelerated time schedules. It is hoped that this will ultimately help us build a competitive fleet of new U.S. reactors that will offer significant improvements over today’s technology.
