✦ Synopsis

An optimal control algorithm for reactor reactivity controls during CANDU § nuclear station load cycling is presented. The minimized performance index is reactor operating cost during a load cycling interval. The algorithm is developed using Pontryagin's Maximum principle. A novel non-iterative technique for determining the adjoint multiplier initial values in the resulting two point boundary value problem is used. The analysis considers standard fuel, booster fuel, moderator poison and liquid zone controllers as available reactivity control devices.
