Thermalhydraulics of advanced 37-element fuel bundle in crept pressure tubes

open access: yesEPJ Nuclear Sciences & Technologies, 2016
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.

Analysis of the Effective Dose to the Public Living Around Korean Nuclear Power Plants After the Monitoring of Carbon‐14 Discharge Was Implemented

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 5810-5820, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Radioactive effluents discharged by nuclear power plants (NPPs) are classified into two categories: gas and liquid effluents, based on their source and discharge pathways. During the operation of these facilities, both types of effluents are released into the environment.
