This paper presents the advanced version of ePrometheus™ GNF Fuel Cycle Optimization Tool. ePrometheus is Global Nuclear Fuel-Americas LLC (“GNF”) patented computer system used to optimize Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) fuel management and operations. The advanced version of ePrometheus utilizes a new database structure (Oracle 11 g) and a new C#, WPF based graphical user interface (GUI), and employs a capability of performing refueling calculation. It also displays additional 2-D and 3-D core simulation data that are necessary to improve the fuel cycle design process, and utilizes many more advanced features based on user experience feedback. The objective of this paper is to present new advanced infrastructure of the system, and to provide overall information on the advanced features of the newly released version 3.0.
