Assessment of Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for Nuclear Power Plant Fuel Optimization

The nuclear fuel loading pattern optimization problem belongs to the class of large-scale combinatorial optimization and has been studied since the dawn of the commercial nuclear energy industry. It is also characterized by multiple objectives and constraints, which makes it impossible to solve expl...
