A procedure has been developed to reveal ion induced damage in Zircaloy by transmission electron microscopy. The technique consists of using a modified twin-jet electropolishing method to prepare samples for Ni ion bombardment at elevated temperatures followed by further polishing to provide foils suitable for transmission electron microscopy. The electrolyte used to polish Zircaloy-2 consisted of 50 ml perchloric acid (70%), 175 ml glacial acetic acid, and 100 ml ethylene glycol,. A 0.005” thick and 1/8” diameter sample was first polished from one side only, using a E.A. Fischione twin jet electropolisher equipped with a sample holder designed by W.G. Johnston and J.H.Rosolowski, (Fig.1).
