Application of reactor noise analysis in the candu reactors of Ontario hydro
Progress in Nuclear Energy, 1995Abstract Reactor noise analysis techniques are being applied in Ontario Hydro's CANDU nuclear generating stations to monitor the dynamic characteristics of critical plant components and processes. A comprehensive analysis of stationary signal fluctuations (noise) of the standard instrumentation of Pickering-B, Bruce-B and Darlington units has been ...

Scenarios for the Transmutation of Actinides in CANDU Reactors
18th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering: Volume 1, 2010With world stockpiles of used nuclear fuel increasing, the need to address the long-term utilization of this resource is being studied. Many of the transuranic (TRU) actinides in nuclear spent fuel produce decay heat for long durations, resulting in significant nuclear waste management challenges.

Basics of CANDU Reactor Physics
2021Nuclear fission is the splitting of a (large) nucleus, with the release of energy. The nuclei of some heavy elements, such as U-238, do exhibit spontaneous fission in nature. However, the rate of such fissions is extremely low. The half-life of uranium is longer than 100 million years, and most of its decay is by alpha emission, so spontaneous fission ...

Advanced technologies for CANDU reactors
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1993Abstract The inherent features of a reactor based on multiple pressure tubes, rather than a single pressure vessel, provide CANDU with considerable flexibility for continuous design improvements. Of particular significance is the presence of a large volume of cool heavy-water moderator within the core.

Degraded Cooling in a CANDU Reactor
Nuclear Science and Engineering, 1984Loss of coolant accident (LOCA) analysis for a Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactor considers a wide range of postulated break sizes and locations in the heat transport piping. Coincident failure of the emergency coolant injection system to operate on demand must also be considered.

In-reactor performance of pressure tubes in CANDU reactors
Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2008Abstract The pressure tubes in CANDU reactors have been operating for times up to about 25 years. The in-reactor performance of Zr–2.5Nb pressure tubes has been evaluated by sampling and periodic inspection. This paper describes the behaviour and discusses the factors controlling the behaviour of these components in currently operating CANDU reactors.
