The kinetics of accumulation of
hydrogen during γ radiation on Zr and alloys Zr1%Nbin contract with seawater at Т = 300÷1273 K
is investigated. The molecular hydrogen
accumulation rates during radiation, thermalradiation, and thermal processes in the Zr, Zr1%Nb
alloys -SW system are determined. The
contributions of thermal and radiationheterogeneous processes during accumulation of
molecular hydrogen and corrosion of Zr and alloys
Zr1%Nbin contract with seawater is revealed.It has
been established that under gamma irradiation of a
system of zirconium and a Zr1% Nb alloy with
seawater, with increasing temperature, the
contribution of thermal processes of accumulation
of molecular hydrogen also increases at T˃1273 K,
which prevail over radiation processes.
