Delayed hydride cracking (DHC) has been identified as a cause for the failure of zirconium-based alloy pressure tubes in CANDU and RBMK reactors. In this paper, a delayed hydride cracking (DHC) was investigated using compact toughness specimens in order to determine the crack growth velocity in CAND
