What is this element used in nuclear reactors for cladding feul irons, for alloying with Uranium, and for reactor-core structures because of its unique combination of properties, FTP of atomic number 40?
Identified from its oxide in 1789 by Klaproth, its pure form was isolated in 1824 by Berzelius. It is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust and is transparent to neutrons.
