Multi-Objective Optimization Of The Fast Neutron Source By Machine Learning, John L. Pevey
Doctoral Dissertations
The design and optimization of nuclear systems can be a difficult task, often with prohibitively large design spaces, as well as both competing and complex objectives and constraints. When faced with such an optimization, the task of designing an algorithm for this optimization falls to engineers who must apply engineering knowledge and experience to reduce the scope of the optimization to a manageable size. When sufficient computational resources are available, unsupervised optimization can be used.
The optimization of the Fast Neutron Source (FNS) at the University of Tennessee is presented as an example for the methodologies developed in this work. …
