Abstract
A method of governing a pressurized water nuclear reactor can simultaneously consider and balance a large number of control goals. The method includes iteratively considering a large number of randomly varied possible trajectories (Ta) of actuating variables for controlling reactor core reactivity for a future time interval. Each trajectory (Ta) of actuating variables is assigned a figure of merit (Σ) on the basis of a Value Table which contains weighting or penalty values for a number of events or adverse reactor core states which are characterized by preset conditions or values of the actuating variables, the process variables and/or variables derived from them. The trajectory (Ta) of actuating variables is chosen such that the figure of merit (Σ) has a local extremum, and corresponding actuators are moved accordingly.
