Disclosed herein are zirconium alloy compositions having a low hydrogen pick-up rate and high hydrogen embrittlement resistance. This zirconium alloy composition can be usefully used as a nuclear fuel components in a nuclear power plant because it has a very low hydrogen pick-up rate and high hydrogen embrittlement resistance under operation environments of nuclear power plant.

Provided is a nuclear-fuel sintered pellet based on oxide in which a plate-type fine precipitate material in a base of a sintered pellet of uranium dioxide, used as nuclear fuel in nuclear power plants, is uniformly dispersed in a matrix of uranium dioxide fuel thereof so as to form a donut-shaped precipitate cluster, and to a method of manufacturing the same. The plate-type fine precipitate material is uniformly precipitated in a tissue thereof or forms a donut-shaped precipitate cluster having a two-dimensional structure through dispersion to improve thermal and physical performance of the nuclear-fuel sintered pellet of uranium dioxide, whereby the creep deformation rate and thermal conductivity of the sintered pellet are improved. The nuclear-fuel sintered pellet based on oxide can reduce the Pellet-Clad Interaction (PCI) failure and the core temperature of nuclear fuel when an accident occurs, thereby significantly improving the safety of a nuclear reactor.

A method of manufacturing a zirconium alloy for a nuclear fuel cladding tube includes melting a mixture of 0.5 wt % of Nb, 0.4 wt % of Mo, 0.1 to 0.15 wt % of Cu, 0.15 to 0.2 wt % of Fe, and a balance of zirconium to prepare a melted ingot; heat treating the melted ingot at 1,000 to 1,050° C. for 30 to 40 min. followed by quenching in water to prepare a heat-treated ingot; preheating the heat-treated ingot at 630 to 650° C. for 20 to 30 min. to prepare a preheated ingot followed by hot rolling the preheated ingot at a reduction ratio of 60 to 65% to provide a hot-rolled material; thrice performing vacuum annealing followed by cold-rolling; and vacuum annealing a third cold-rolled material in a final vacuum annealing at 510 to 520° C. for 7 to 9 hrs. to provide the zirconium alloy as a cold-rolled material.
