Recent concern with fuel safety in accident scenarios has motivated research into accident tolerant fuels (ATF), which are defined as fuels that could increase coping time in case of an accident. This study is an attempt to develop an ATF by improving the corrosion performance of nuclear fuel cladding during a hightemperature excursion through the application of a ceramic coating using physical vapor deposition. In this study, ceramic coatings constituted of singlelayer and multi-layer TiN/TiAlN coatings with a titanium bond coat layer to improve adhesion were applied onto ZIRLO sheets using cathodic arc physical vapor deposition. The coating architecture and deposition parameters were systematically optimized to achieve good adhesion and corrosion performance, and an initial evaluation was performed for resistance to radiation damage. The coating performance was highly dependent on coating design architecture, and the best coating architecture was found to be that of eight-layer TiN/TiAlN coatings deposited with optimized parameters. The optimized coatings were Manuscript received March 6, 2019; accepted for publication January 29, 2020.

Eleven Zircaloy-4 samples were irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactor at a variety of temperatures and neutron flux levels for up to 6.5 years. Subsequently, the coupons were characterized with complementary techniques to understand the mechanisms behind oxide growth as a function of different corrosion environments. Samples were examined using synchrotron X-ray diffraction/ fluorescence, traditional X-ray diffraction, focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy serial sectioning, and three-dimensional reconstruction to develop Manuscript received March 28, 2019; accepted for publication August 13, 2019.
