More Information
Summary:A nuclear fuel cladding is provided. The nuclear fuel cladding includes a base cladding; and at least one nanomaterial layer deposited on a surface of the base cladding, the nanomaterial layer having an average grain size of between 5 to 400 nanometers. A method of manufacturing nuclear fuel cladding is also provided. The method includes depositing nanoparticles on a base cladding to form at least one nanomaterial layer, the nanoparticles having an average grain size of between 5 to 400 nanometers.
