Abstract
Delayed hydride crack (DHC) growth study was carried out on irradiated Indian Zr-2.5Nb pressure tube which had seen around 8 effective full power years of operation. Disc compact tension type specimens were used for the DHC tests at 210 °C, 250 °C, 265 °C and 290 °C. This paper discusses the test methodology, results generated and compares it with that obtained on the as-fabricated pressure tube of similar specification.
