Description
Using the data estimate what the thickness of AGR cladding(Fe) you gave would need to be match the same neutron transport properties of 125 MM of zirconium. How does this thickness compare to Zr, and is it usable?
Zr 0.185barns
Fe 2.56barns

Paragraph 1: The standard thickness of AGR cladding(Fe) required to match a neutron transport
of Zirconium is 2.56 barns while the AGR cladding(Zr) required to match a neutron transport is
0.185 barns.
Paragraph 2: The thickness required for AGR (Fe) cladding = 1.792 barns while the thickness
required for AGR (Zr) cladding is equal to 0.1132 barns
Paragraph 3: This implies that Zirconium is more resistant to a damage exposed by radiations
and aqueous corrosion and hence Zirconium has good mechanical properties even when
subjected to inten...
