Zirconium Nuclear Fuel Rod Tube - Rare Nuclear Collectible

PEGUYS Present a RARE form of Zirconium Metal, a nuclear Fuel Rod. It has a diameter of 0.35in/8.9mm and a length of about 7.5in/190mm and weighs from 22 - 25 Grams.Commercial non-nuclear grade zirconium typically contains 1–5% of Hafnium whose neutron absorption cross-section is 600x that of zirconium. Zirconium for Nuclear uses must contain 0% Hafnium. Known as Zr702 or Zircalloy - Zr 98,5%: Nb 1%, Fe 0,5%.Zircalloy was developed as a replacement for existing tube bundles in submarine reactors in the 1950s, owing to a combination of strength, low neutron cross section and corrosion resistance.THESE TUBES ARE NOT RADIOACTIVEYou will receive 1 Rod/tube. An amazing piece for an element collection. Great price.
