Book Description
Reports on a project that continues a test program to determine the effects of in-service degradation and abnormal environmental conditions on the ballooning behaviour of pressure tubes in CANDU nuclear reactors. Investigators tested nine zirconium-niobium pressure tube specimens to study the effects of hydride blisters and uniformly distributed hydrogen, and the composition of the internal pressurizing gas, including argon, steam, a steam-iodine mixture, and hydrogen. Specimen internal pressure and temperature ramp rate ranged from one megapascal and one degree K per second to 9.6 megapascals and 35 K per second. Three reference tests were carried out with as-received material. Temperatures on the outside and inside surfaces of the specimens, and circumferential and longitudinal strains, were recorded during the transients. Post-test longitudinal, circumferential, and wall thickness strains were also measured.
