PERFORMANCE OF PRESSURE TUBES IN CANDU REACTORS [PDF]
CNL Nuclear Review, 2016 The pressure tubes in CANDU reactors typically operate for times up to about 30 years prior to refurbishment. The in-reactor performance of Zr-2.5Nb pressure tubes has been evaluated by sampling and periodic inspection. This paper describes the behavior and discusses the factors controlling the behaviour of these components.

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

Energy 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.
