Abstract

Various kinds of experiments on the oxidation of Zircaloy-4 cladding material in different scales and under different conditions at temperatures 800–1300 °C (small scale) and up to 2000 °C (large scale) are presented. The focus of this work was on prototypic mixed air–steam atmospheres and sequential reaction in steam and air, where no data were available before. The separate-effects tests were performed to support the large scale bundle test QUENCH-10 and to deliver first data for model development.
