RADIOISOTOPE PRODUCTION SCHEDULING IN A NUCLEAR REACTOR
开发了一个多周期混合整数规划模型,用于安排核反应堆中多种等级放射性同位素的生产,并评估接受未预测需求销售机会导致的未来产品短缺。
ABSTRACT A multiperiod mixed integer programming model has been developed for the production scheduling of several grades of a radioisotope in a nuclear reactor. Of special interest is the model's capability to evaluate possible future product “short falls” due to the acceptance of an unforecasted demand sales opportunity. The model is essential to decisions concerning reactor loading after an extended shutdown of several periods for modifications, maintenance, and upgrading.
