title = "Using small x-ray beams to understand corrosion in nuclear fuel cladding",
abstract = "Uniform oxidation by the primary circuit water and associated may soon limit the service of Zr alloy fuel cladding in Light Water reactors. Understanding the differences in corrosion rate between alloys based on the microstructure of the protective oxide may allow us to design better alloying materials for severe duty cycle applications. The use of synchrotron radiation microbeam at APS allows the study of these oxide layers with an unique combination of the wealth of diffraction and fluorescence information and the level of spatial resolution obtained. We will discuss some of our experimental results and the potentials of these techniques in solving engineering problems.",
