[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM5MjU3Mzc5XzM3RjRCQjY3] Improved nuclear fuel-rod cladding might prevent future Fukushimas A substitute for traditional zircaloy could greatly reduce the danger of hydrogen explosions. http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2013/better-cladding-for-nuclear-reactors-0726.html That hydrogen buildup was the result of hot steam coming into contact with overheated nuclear fuel rods covered by a cladding of zirconium alloy, or “zircaloy” — the material used as fuel-rod cladding in [b]all water-cooled nuclear reactors, which constitute more than 90 percent of the world’s power reactors[/b]. When it gets hot enough, zircaloy reacts with steam to produce hydrogen, a hazard in any loss-of-coolant nuclear accident. [/quote]
