Abstract

Variation of initiation time for iodine-induced stress corrosion cracking (SCC) was evaluated in Zircaloy-2 cladding tubes. The data obtained from internal gas pressurization SCC tests revealed that the cumulative distribution of the initiation time could be described by a Weibull distribution. The behavior of the shape, scale, and location parameters against the hoop stresses applied to Zircaloy-2 cladding tubes was also investigated.
