ABSTRACT:
Zirconium-based corrosion resistant alloys for use primarily as a cladding material for fuel rods in a boiling water nuclear reactor which consist essentially of 0.5 to 2.5 weight percent bismuth, or alternatively, 0.5 to 2.5 weight percent of a mixture of tin and bismuth, 0.5-1.0 weight percent of a solute composed of a member selected from the group consisting of niobium, molybdenum, tellurium, and mixture thereof, alternatively, the solute will be composed of tellurium and will be in the range of 0.3-1.0 weight percent, and the balance being zirconium.
