....of maximal fuel utilization while satisfying nominal power demand. The resulting optimization problem is nonlinear mixed integer (NLMIP) Several optimization approaches to this problem have been tried, with the recent trend towards local search heuristics. 1. Successive linear programming (see [3, 18]) 2. Local search by pairwise interchange of fuel bundles (see [14, 19, 12, 10] 3. Simulated annealing (see [15, 4, 20] Surveys of optimization approaches in reactor physics may be found in [11, 16] A natural question is whether the advances in software for nonlinear programming may be ....
