Abstract: The present invention relates to a nuclear fuel element for a pressurized-water reactor, PWR. The fuel element comprises cladding tubes or cladding tubes and guide tubes, whose composition and manufacture are so adapted that the cladding or the cladding and the guide tubes during reactor operation show a good resistance to general corrosion and a low hydrogen contents. This can be achieved by allowing the cladding or the cladding and the guide tubes, when being manufactured, to undergo heat treatments which are of such a nature that the cumulative annealing parameter SIGMA A = SIGMA ti exp (-Q/RTi) is at most 1.25 x 10 , at Q/R = 31726 K.
