DOI: 10.1016/j.nucengdes.2019.110372
Abstract: Abstract The current work presents investigations of flow through a 37-element CANDU nuclear fuel bundle residing within a deformed pressure tube. This scenario simulates the long-term effects of aging, whereby the pressure tube may experience… read more here.
