Method and arrangement for determining fresh fuel loading patterns for nuclear reactors
In the method, a set of limits applicable to a core may be defined, and a test fresh fuel loading pattern design, to be used for loading the core, may be determined based on the limits. Reactor operation on at least a subset of the core may be simulated to produce a plurality of simulated results. T...

| description | In the method, a set of limits applicable to a core may be defined, and a test fresh fuel loading pattern design, to be used for loading the core, may be determined based on the limits. Reactor operation on at least a subset of the core may be simulated to produce a plurality of simulated results. The simulated results may be compared against the limits, and data from the comparison may indicate whether any of the limits were violated by the core during the simulation. A designer or engineer may use the data to modify the test fresh fuel loading pattern, creating one or more derivative fresh fuel loading pattern design(s) for simulation and eventual perfection as an acceptable fresh fuel loading pattern design for the core. |
