The creep compliance B0 and creep-swelling coupling coefficient D were found to be 1.1 to 3.0 × 10-6 MPa-1 dpa-1 and up to 1.3 × 10-2 MPa-1 for instantaneous volumetric swelling rate, respectively. Those are almost the same level as those derived using the pressurized tubes irradiated in FFTF-MOTA. D values tend to decrease and disappear with developing void swelling.
