Abstract
The development of zirconium and its alloys for use in nuclear reactors began in the United States in 1948 when it was found that hafnium-free zirconium had a much lower neutron-absorption cross-section than had previously been suspected. Structural materials for use in water cooled Power Reactors must possess a combination capture cross-section. Zirconium alloys alone have the required combination of these. It will be fruitful to trace very briefly, the history of development of the zirconium alloys.
