Test equipment to determine the creep properties of Zircaloy-2 in a 750 deg F 500-psi steam atmosphere was designed and constructed. Duplicate tests were performed at stresses to produce failure in approximately 1, 10, 100, and 1000 hr. A comparison between these data and data obtained in vacuum-test equipment showed that a corrosive test atmosphere does not alter ductility or failure times appreciably. (auth
