A new concept for the fuel cycle analysis of a multicycle design is introduced. This new concept has been applied to the boiling water reactor of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. A linear programming method is used to determine the optimum reload pattern for a given set of reload fuel assemblies for each cycle. The optimum reload pattern maximizes the cycle length and provides a target core pattern. Sensitivity functions are computed using the HUDDLE code, which depletes the core using the Haling power distribution. The linear programming convergence characteristics are greatly enhanced by incorporating total programming.
