Abstract

The article summarizes the current status of the development of a core management tool for MYRRHA. The use of the tool is demonstrated on simple illustrative MYRRHA in-core fuel management problems. Both unconstrained and constrained problems are tackled using Genetic Algorithm. Several forms of objective function penalization have been applied and tested for solving constrained problem.
