Zirconium alloys were developed for use as nuclear fuel cladding in the early 1950s
Zirconium was chosen for use in the cores of water-cooled nuclear reactors because of its low thermal neutron capture cross-section reasonable mechanical properties and adequate corrosion resistance in high temperature water
