Description

In the ICFM activities the selection of an optimal reload pattern plays a special role. Since 1989 began the development of an expert system, ROSE, designed as a computational reloading pattern generator. The nowadays system version included the passive utility to manage square or hexagonal lattices in standard and low leakage approach. The preference rules made use of heuristical evaluations. The system is currently confeed by means of an interface to the coarse mesh simulator SPPS-1 in order to evaluate the performance of resulting patterns for hexagonal WWER type reactors and data between ROSE and SPPS-1 is easily transferred in both directions. In system adjustment and validation for hexagonal lattices LOVIISA NPP (Finland) and Juragua NPP (Cuba) data has been used. The possibilities of the system for actual reload patterns generation and for developing shield in reloading are also analyzed in this paper. (author). 13 refs
