Huan Chen, Xiaoming Wang, Ruiqian Zhang
Abstract
In continuation from the earlier Part I, this paper presents the status on the investigations of Cr-coated zirconium alloys under both normal operating and hypothetical accident conditions. This paper is aimed to provide sufficient knowledge to understand the service performance and research focus of accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) coatings.
