✦ Synopsis

The problem addressed here is scheduling the shutdown for refueling and maintenance of nuclear power plants. The models have up to four reactors requiring of the order of five shutdowns each over a five-year time horizon. The resulting mixed-integer program is large and complex with interesting structure. We show good results using a mixed-integer optimizer taking advantage of a strong linear programming formulation.

## Abstract This paper presents a mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation for robust topology optimization of trusses subjected to the stress constraints under the uncertain load. A design‐dependent uncertainty model of the external load is proposed for dealing with the variation of truss topol
