Core Loading Pattern Optimization

Core Loading Pattern Optimization is a computational methodology in nuclear reactor core design that systematically determines the optimal arrangement of fuel assemblies within the reactor core to maximize performance metrics such as fuel utilization, power distribution uniformity, and safety margins while satisfying operational and physical constraints.
