Abstract
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 elogation and diametral creep provided by a thicker wall pressure tube.
