Coatings based on chromium and its nitride, which effectively protect zirconium fuel claddings against oxidation under operating conditions and in accident conditions in water vapor are developed. The irradiation of chromium coating in a nanocrystalline state by argon ions leads to a radiation-stimulated isotropic growth of the grain size from the initial 250 nm to 295 nm at a dose of 25 dpa and radiation induced swelling, which begins with the lowest doses (5 dpa) and reaches a value of 0,66 % at a dose of 25 dpa, which occurs with the formation of vacancy voids. Annealing of samples in a vacuum at an irradiation temperature does not lead to changes in the structure of chromium coatings, which indicates their thermal stability at temperatures up to 400 °C. Thus, chromium vacuum arc coatings have high resistance to radiation swelling and can be used to protect zirconium fuel shells from oxidation under conditions of a nuclear reactor.
