Transmutation rates in the annulus gas of pressure tube water reactors
(2011-07-01)
CANDU (CANada Deuterium Uranium) reactor utilizes Pressure Tube (PT) fuel channel design and heavy water as a coolant. Fuel channel annulus gas acts as an insulator to minimize heat losses from the coolant to the moderator. ...
Simulation of in-core dose rates for an offline CANDU reactor
(2016-04-01)
This thesis describes the development of a Monte Carlo simulation to predict the dose rates that will be encountered by a novel robotic inspection system for the pressure tubes of an offline CANDU reactor. Simulations were ...
