Optimizing PWR Low Leakage Cores with Genetic Algorithms and Other Techniques

摘要

The techniques for calculating an optimum LP that has the maximum cycle length with a selected set of FAs and that does not violate the safety constraints has been described in this paper. A GA is used to find an optimum LP using the HPD to deplete the LPs during the search process. Proof that the HPD can provide an excellent guess for creating new low leakage PWRs' LPs is given. However, in reviewing Fig. 2, it is observed that many LPs fall far outside acceptable limits. It should be possible to eliminate this search space by developing an improved priority scheme.
