Abstract
The fatigue crack propagation behavior of Zircaloy-2 subjected to various environmental conditions was examined within the framework of linear elastic fracture mechanics. It was found that the fatigue crack growth rate increased with increasing levels of cold work, increasing temperature, and exposure to a water environment.Keywords
