Abstract

The comparative analysis of perspective of use in Ukraine nuclear fuel zirconium that produced by magnesium thermal reduction and calcium thermal reduction are fulfilled. The advantages of calcium thermal reduction method use in Ukraine are founded. The necessity of experimental investigation of cast parts production in electron beam installation from zirconium of magnesium thermo reduction is shown.
