Nuclear industry is in crisis and innovation is the central theme of its survival in future.
Artificial intelligence has made a quantum leap in last few years. This paper …

Problems in nuclear engineering–such as reactor core design–involve a multitude of design
variables including fuel or assembly configurations; all of which require careful …

The problem of fuel reloading optimization is very demanding, which requires to search for
the optimal suitable core configuration within a very huge solution space. To solve this …

Existence of debris structures inevitably ascends the rate of scour process around bridge
piers and flow area not only lead into remarkable deviation of flow but also increase the …

The control of a nuclear power plant is important due to its nonlinear dynamics. An optimized
proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller is a popular tool to this end. PID is tuned by …

Nuclear reactor fuel reloading optimization is a hot issue in the field of nuclear engineering.
With the reasonable rearrangement of fuel assemblies in a reactor core, the nuclear fuel …

Multi-objective optimization is proposed to address the problem of design optimality in the
nuclear power plant design process. This is done via the creation/development of the …

The multi-depot vehicle routing problem is a well-known non-deterministic polynomial-time
hard combinatorial optimization problem, which is crucial for transportation and logistics …

To improve the marketability of novel microreactor designs, there is a need for automated
and optimal control of these reactors. This paper presents a methodology for performing …
