Evaluation of BORAL® Coupons from Zion Spent Fuel Pool
BORAL® is a ceramic-metal material commonly used as a neutron absorber in spent fuel pools in nuclear plants. To assess whether degradation of these panels presents safety concerns, this study examined the condition of BORAL® neutron absorber panels used for 20 years in the spent fuel pool of the decommissioned Zion Nuclear Power Station.
