Creep analysis on pressure tube wall thickness variation

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

This analysis is to investigate the benefits and disadvantages of increasing the pressure tube wall thickness for CANDU reactor. Creep analysis of the pressure tube was performed for slightly enriched uranium (SEU) to establish the reduction in axial elongation and diametral creep provided by a thicker wall pressure tube
