Summary : :
The development of accident-tolerant fuel cladding is one of the promising way to improve the safety of nuclear reactors. Among the most advanced research directions, the chromium-coated zirconium alloy is being carefully evaluated under extreme conditions. The work of the internship focuses on the study of thermochemical interactions of the Cr-O-Zr ternary system at high temperatures (T> 1473 K). This scientific work will be carried out within a research group combining experimental and modelling approaches.
