Title:
原子炉の炉心デザインを判定するための方法及び装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4109620
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
In the method, a set of limits are defined (S10) and a reference core design is generated (S15) based on the limits, and includes an initial loading pattern of current fresh fuel bundles arranged in a plurality of fuel locations. A unique subset of fresh fuel bundles is selected (S20) for evaluation as the reference core design is subjected to an iterative improvement process. The iterative process includes replacing (S25), at each fuel location, at least one of the current fresh fuel bundles with at least one of the selected fresh fuel bundles, and simulating (S30) reactor operation on the reference core design to obtain a plurality of outputs. The outputs may be ranked based (S40) on the defined set of limits, and the highest ranked output may be selected (S70) as an accepted core design for the nuclear reactor.
