Abstract
Abstract Hydrogen uptakes during initial stages of corrosion of Van Arkel zirconium and of two zirconium alloys in steam at 500 C (932 F) and 1 atmosphere pressure are reported. Percentage uptake remains low down to the lowest weight gains examined (~1 mg/sq dm), suggesting that control of hydrogen entry resides in reactions at the oxide/steam interface.
