Abstract

Abstract The corrosion behavior of Zircaloy-4 fuel cladding in nuclear reactor is affected by irradiation damage. The irradiation effect of the post-transition oxide layer on the Zircaloy-4 corrosion rate has been investigated using protons. As previously observed on pre-transition oxide layer, irradiation defects increase the oxidation rate of the alloy up to around 30 days in autoclave in agreement with the irradiation defect annealing characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The model proposed for pre-transition regime is able to describe the oxidation rate after irradiation of post-transition oxide layers.
