message: The main article says Zr-94 is stable.  The half life listed in the JEFF 3.11 database is 1.89346 e+23 seconds, or 6.00014 e+15 years.
The main article says Zr-93 is 6.346% of fission products resulting from thermal fission of U-235 and 3.80% of fission products resulting from thermal fission of Pu-239.
Output from the ORIGEN-2 program from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a well-validated simulation of reactor fuel contents, shows Zr-93 as 1.703 kg/tonne of spent fuel from a light-water reactor used for 50.68 GW-day burnup at power of 36.5 MW and neutron flux of 3.14 e+14 N/cm^2/s.  Total fission product content in one tonne of spent fuel is 52.18 kg.  1.073/52.18 is only 2.056%.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Van.snyder (talk • contribs) 23:35, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

message: So if I understand it correctly, Zirconium (which has to be very low in Hafnium, which is a headache onto itself) is used for cladding most fuel rods in nuclear fission plants, because of its low neutron capture cross-section. The cross-section of this isotope is similar to the stable isotopes. So could it be used for cladding? I think there's not too much heat being released by the decay and it should also not hurt the structural integrity and whatnot, right? So is the spent fuel contaminated by Hafnium, or is there some other reason not to use it for cladding? Hobbitschuster (talk) 22:12, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
