Thermalhydraulics of advanced 37-element fuel bundle in crept pressure tubes
A CANDU-6 reactor, which has 380 fuel channels of a pressure tube type, is suffering from aging or creep of the pressure tubes. Most of the aging effects for the CANDU primary heat transport system were originated from the horizontal crept pressure tubes.

Dynamic Xenon Response in a CANDU-600 Reactor: A Simulation Study of Power Variations
This paper presents a comparative simulation study of xenon and fission product behavior in a CANDU-600 reactor core operating at nominal full power (100%) and an aging CANDU-600 core limited to 90% power due to end-of-life constraints.
