Optimum fuel use in PWR reactors

Creators

Description

An optimization program was developed to calculate minimum-cost refuelling schedules for PWR reactors. Optimization was made over several cycles, without any constraints (equilibrium cycle). In developing the optimization program, special consideration was given to an individual treatment of every fuel element and to a sufficiently accurate calculation of all the data required for safe reactor operation. The results of the optimization program were compared with experimental values obtained at Obrigheim nuclear power plant. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Es wurde ein Optimierungsprogramm erstellt, das es erlaubt, Brennelementwechselplaene fuer Druckwasserreaktoren zu berechnen, die minimale Brennstoffkosten ergeben. Die Optimierung erfolgt ueber mehrere Zyklen, wobei keine Einschraenkungen (Gleichgewichtszyklus) zu beruecksichtigen sind. Bei der Erstellung des Optimierungsprogrammes wurde besonders darauf geachtet, jedes Brennelement individuell behandeln zu koennen, sowie alle fuer den sicheren Reaktorbetrieb notwendigen Daten mit genuegender Genauigkeit zu berechnen. Die Ergebnisse des Optimierungsprogrammes wurden mit experimentellen Werten am Kernkraftwerk Obrigheim verglichen. (orig.)
