Abstract
⺠The automatic procedure was developed to design the radial enrichment and gadolinia (Gd) distribution of fuel lattice. ⺠The method is based on a particle swarm optimization algorithm and local search. ⺠The design goal were to achieve the minimum local peaking factor. ⺠The number of fuel pins with Gd and Gd concentration are fixed to reduce search complexity. ⺠In this study, three axial sections are design and lattice performance is calculated using CASMO-4.
