Abstract
CORE LOADINGS OPTIMISATION IN DUKOVANY NPPJosef Bajgl, Martin Bárta CEZ Inc., Dukovany NPPABSTRACTThe core loading optimisation is an important step in the fuel cycle planning process. The continuous improvement of fuel cycle planning tools is demanded by changes in NPP operation conditions. There is described the fuel cycle planning process applied in Dukovany NPP in this paper. The attention is paid to improvement of core loading patterns optimisation program complex OPTIMAL/OPTIMAN especially. New program complex features and computational results for selected loading patterns are presented.26th Symposium of AER on VVER Reactor Physics and Reactor Safety 23 10 – 14 October 2016, Helsinki, Finland
