Zusammenfassung:	Coatings for zirconium alloy components of nuclear reactor fuel assemblies are described. The coating consists of a metal silicate binder, particles of burnable-poison particles, such as boron carbide, optional graphite particles and an optional rheology-enhancing component. The coating is deposited from a liquid suspension which also includes a polar solvent.
