OSTI ID:786831
We present the preliminary results of an ongoing research project related to the development of a system for boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel assembly (FA) axial design optimization. The OPTEN system is based on a direct search algorithm, the flexible tolerance method (FTM), and uses the Core-Master PRESTO (CM-PRESTO) three-dimensional steady-state simulator code to evaluate the objective function and the constraints. The feasibility of this methodology is investigated for a typical BWR fuel assembly.
