The growing understanding of the link between carbon emissions and global warming has
been promoting a discussion on the environmental and safety viability of nuclear power …

Supercritical water reactors (SCWRs) are a kind of high-temperature, high-pressure water-
cooled reactors that operate above the thermodynamic critical point of water (374° C, 22.1 …

The effect of alloying elements, Mn, Ti, and Mo, on the corrosion behavior of FeCoNiCr-
based high entropy alloy (HEA) in supercritical water was investigated. The corrosion …

In an attempt to develop a nuclear fuel cladding that is more tolerant to loss-of-coolant-
accidents (LOCA), ceramic coatings were deposited onto a ZIRLO™ 1 substrate by cathodic …

Ferritic–martensitic and ODS alloys are primary candidates for application as cladding and
structural materials in the Generation IV Supercritical Water Reactor. One of the main in …

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of a Zirlo alloy has been carried out under pulsed
bipolar and pulsed unipolar regimes in aluminate electrolytes with the aim to promote a …

Interest in materials degradation in supercritical water (SCW) increased significantly after the
Generation IV International Forum selected the supercritical water-cooled reactor as one of …

The kinetics, mechanism, and activation energy of H2O2 decomposition in ZrO2 particle
suspensions were studied. The obtained first-order and second-order rate constants for the …

We have investigated the reactions of H 2 O 2 with Fe 2 O 3, CuO, HfO 2, CeO 2 and Gd 2 O
3 in aqueous solution. The reactions rate constants at room temperature were determined …

A detailed study of alloying element distributions in the metal and oxygen rich regions of
corroded Zr alloys and of the phases formed ahead of the oxide front was conducted using …
