Estimation of the radionuclide inventory in LWR spent fuel assembly structural materials for long-term safety analysis

The radionuclide inventory of materials irradiated in a reactor depends on the initial material composition, irradiation history and on the magnitude and spectrum of the neutron flux. The material composition of a fuel assembly structure includes various alloys of Zircaloy, Inconel and stainless ste...
