Abstract

The possibility of testing the surface oxidation of zirconium has been investigated by the method of one-way active thermal non-destructive testing based on the analysis of radiation temperatures. The emissivity of the oxidized surface of zirconium samples obtained at different annealing temperatures was estimated at various stages and heating temperatures in the infrared wavelength range. It is shown that there is a principal possibility to remotely test the oxidation process of zirconium alloys used in the nuclear industry for the manufacture of fuel elements operating in the core of nuclear reactors.
