The bundle... is mostly uranium dioxide(UO2), sheathed and held together by zircaloy. Zircaloy 4, the specific alloy used for this purpose, is 98% zirconium and 1. 7% tin. The UO2 is in the form of high-density pellets. Each fuel element is a thin zircaloy tube, the fuel sheath, filled with fuel pellets. A thin lubricating layer of graphite between the pellet and the sheath is what gives the fuel the proprietary name CANLUB. 1, record 20, English, - CANLUB%20fuel
