The Oxidation and Corrosion of Zirconium and Its Alloys

Abstract
The results of investigations of the corrosion of zircaloy‐2 in high‐temperature uranyl sulphate solutions under irradiation are reported. The kinetics of corrosion under these conditions are compared with the kinetics of corrosion in water and aqueous solutions out‐of‐pile, and with the aid of electron microscopy a mechanism for the irradiation enhanced corrosion is offered.
