Abstract
⺠In this study, weighting factor method and structural constraints were applied. ⺠Each fuel assembly bears a weight based on its characteristics and position. ⺠The applied method shortened the time consumed for achieving the deterministic optimized loading pattern. ⺠The computer codes WIMSD5-B, CITATION-LDI2 and COBRA-EN codes were used. ⺠The effect of temperature distribution has been considered in the neutronic calculations.
