Dynamic fuel cycle simulation tools are intended to model holistic transient nuclear fuel cycle scenarios. As with all simulation tools, fuel cycle simulators require verification through unit tests, benchmark cases, and integral tests. Model validation is a vital aspect, as well. Although comparative studies have been performed, there is no comprehensive unit test and benchmark library for fuel cycle...
An automatic core reload design tool was developed for a pressurized water reactor (PWR). A loading pattern (LP) was searched for using three different algorithms: the rank-based ant system (RAS), max–min ant system (MMAS), and Ant-Q which are variants of the ant colony algorithm. The fuel assemblies (FAs) were permuted in a one eighth core position and then the LP was copied to the other one eighth...
