NSA is a comprehensive collection of international nuclear science and technology literature for the period 1948 through 1976, pre-dating the prestigious INIS database, which began in 1970. NSA existed as a printed product (Volumes 1-33) initially, created by DOE's predecessor, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). NSA includes citations to scientific and technical reports from the AEC, the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration and its contractors, plus other agencies and international organizations, universities, and industrial and research organizations. References to books, conference proceedings, papers, patents, dissertations, engineering drawings, and journal articles from worldwide sources are also included. Abstracts and full text are provided if available.

The microstructure of Zr-2.5Nb nuclear reactor pressure tube material has been studied using electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques. The materials studied contained a range of impurity contents with iron ranging from 300 to 1500 ppm in both the cold-worked and cold-worked + annealed (24 h/560°C) conditions. Cold-worked tubes consisted of deformed ?-Zr grains with a network of ?-Zr (~20wt%Nb) surrounding the ?-Zr grains. Annealing produced a decomposition of the ?-Zr phase into ?-Zr and ?-Nb (~83 wt% Nb). Cold-worked tubing with Fe contents ?500 ppm also contained a very small volume fraction of Zr2Fe precipitates having a tetragonal structure, ?-quenching during fabrication of the tubing appeared to suppress the precipitation of Zi2Fe. On annealing, both Zr(FeCr)2 and Zr2Fe precipitates were formed. The Zr(FeCr)2 precipitates had either the C-15 cubic or C-14 hexagonal Laves phase structure. It is proposed that on annealing at 560°C the ?-Zr phase (containing Fe and Cr in solution) transforms to ?-Zr + ?-Nb + Zr(FeCr)2 phases.
