Abstract

The nuclear transmutation effects in zirconium alloys are analyzed in this work. The molybdenum content in zirconium alloys of various compositions are numerically estimated under irradiation in research (SM-3) and power (WWER-1000) nuclear reactors. The dynamics of molybdenum accumulation under irradiation in the SM-3 reactor and subsequent one-year aging of samples is estimated in the Zr–1% Nb and Zr–2.5% Nb standard zirconium alloys and the proposed Zr–1% Nb–0.5% Mo and Zr–2.5% Nb–0.5% Mo starting compositions.
