Another discusses developments in techniques used to control irradiance, temperature, and humidity for more consistent exposure conditions. The last paper in this section explores the development of a laboratory accelerated test based on freeze/thaw immersion that has been successfully used to estimate durability of building stone.
Service Life Prediction--3 papers examine the prediction of service life, the ultimate goal of any exposure program, which is contingent upon reliable measurement s of the exposure stresses that can affect durability. They explore the use of a computer model that can determine the spectral power distribution of daylight in many different locations, and thermal load and other construction and design parameters to determine the durability of a variety of roofing materials. The last paper shows how characterization of the properties of a glass and its response to accelerated environmental stresses can be used to determine that a sculpture made of the glass will remain relatively unchanged for at least 20 years.

Thermal Measurements: The Foundation of Fire Standards
Authors: Gritzo LA , Alvares N 
Published: April 2008

Description
Eleven peer-reviewed papers address the significant challenges associated with performing thermal measurements as part of fire standards development, testing and analysis. The testing environment and the results of fire standards tests are almost always based on one or more thermal measurements. Measurements of importance include temperature, heat flux, calorimetry, and gas species concentrations. These measurements are also of primary importance to the experimental validation of computer models of fire growth and material response. Topics cover:
Temperature--despite the frequency of temperature measurement to characterize test environments and material response, challenges remain in consistently performing measurements with quantified uncertainty. This section addresses temperature measurement of conditions ranging from thermal fields in furnace environments to thermal response of engulfed objects in large pool fires and thermal protection effectiveness of firefighter’s clothing. Thermocouples, while straightforward in use and operation, are illustrated as deserving consideration of the uncertainty in measurements for each specific application.
Heat Flux--measurements of heat flux are useful to define the fire thermal field for purposes of evaluating material thermal response. Several established gauges have been extensively in fire standards. As with temperature measurements, the resulting uncertainty varies with the gauge design and the environment. The magnitude of this uncertainty, and the need to perform cost-effective experiments and tests, has yielded some new designs and application techniques. Significant progress associated with existing methods address calibration, angular sensitivity, and uncertainty quantification under large fire conditions.
Calorimetry and Ignition Energy--although not as common as heat flux and temperature measurements, these parameters often play the key role in fire standards for the role they play in the initiation, growth, and spread of fire environments. Heat release rate measurements and the evaluation of oxygen are also discussed. In addition, uncertainty in the measurement of ignition energy is also explored. Modern diagnostics and tools allow a closer look at legacy methods and techniques for performing these measurements.
Audience: This new publication is a valuable reference guide for researchers and engineers who need to measure temperature, radiant flux, and heat transfer; scientists and engineers involved in testing flammability limits of vapor phrase mixtures; testing laboratory personnel; and university professors and students.

Influence of Transition Elements Fe, Cr, and V on Long-Time Corrosion in PWRs
Authors: Broy Y , Garzarolli F , Seibold A , Van Swam LF 
Published: April 2008

Two major factors that affect corrosion behavior of Zircaloy-type alloys have been evaluated in a PWR cladding development program ongoing since the early eighties. One of the important parameters was found to be the alloying concentration and distribution of transition elements.
The influence of transition elements (Fe, Cr, and V) was studied on corrosion coupons and experimental fuel rods. Isothermal long-time corrosion tests were performed out-of-pile (1 to 3 years in 300 to 370°C) pressurized water and 400°C steam with and without LiOH additions) and in PWRs (up to 6 years at 310 to 335°C). Experimental fuel rods were irradiated in PWRs up to nine annual cycles.
The experiments show a large reduction of corrosion rate with increasing content of transition elements in all environments. Above a certain transition element content no further improvement in corrosion is observed. The test results clearly suggest the use of transition element concentrations higher than specified by ASTM for Zircaloy-2 and -4. The beneficial effect of transition elements increases with increasing exposure time. The most significant effect of corrosion behavior was seen after six years of PWR exposure, especially at high temperatures.
Different transition elements influence corrosion differently, depending on the environment. Out-of-pile in 350 to 370°C pressurized water and 400°C steam, a beneficial effect is exhibited only for Fe, but not for Cr and V. In PWR and in diluted LiOH autoclave tests, all three transition elements reduce corrosion.
for Zr-based alloys with transition element (TE) concentrations meeting the ASTM Zircaloy-4 specification range, the fraction of corrosion hydrogen picked up by the metal increases with increasing corrosion resistance. Zr-based alloys with enhanced transition element concentrations (above the ASTM limits) exhibit reduced hydrogen pickup fractions.
