ABSTRACT:
A nuclear fuel cladding tube composed of a single zirconium base alloy is provided preferably with a cold worked and stress relieved microstructure throughout. The cladding is characterized by excellent aqueous corrosion resistance as well as excellent resistance to PCI crack propagation. The alloy is selected from a group of zirconium base alloys containing tin, iron, chromium, and/or nickel and low levels of impurities.
