Algorithms provide optimized radiation-shielding design solutions for new types of nuclear reactors

The research team (NEAL) from the University of South China has made significant progress in nuclear reactor radiation-shielding design. The team has developed a radiation-shielding optimization method (RP-NSGA and RP-MOABC) based on a reference-point-selection strategy, which efficiently solves many-objective optimization problems in radiation-shielding design.
