Description

A methodology for fuel loading patterns based on deep learning techniques has been proposed. A computational tool was implemented using artificial neural networks (ANN), covering the safety criteria of keff < = 1.09 and peak-to-average power ratio < = 1.6. The preliminary results show the capability of the developed ANN to find a pattern of loading the assemblies with the constraints imposed. (author)
