Abstract -
The present work investigates an appropriate algorithm based on Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MPNN), Apriori association rules and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) models for predicting two significant core safety parameters; the multiplication factor Keff and the power peaking factor Pmax of the benchmark 10 MW IAEA LEU research reactor. It provides a comprehensive analytic method for establishing an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with selforganizing architecture by finding an optimal number of hidden layers and their neurons, a less number of effective features of data set and the most appropriate topology for internal connections. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using the 2-Dimensional neutronic diffusion code MUDICO-2D to obtain the data required for the training of the neural networks. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and the notability of the proposed algorithm comparing with Trainlm-LM, quasi- Newton (Trainbfg-BFGS), and Resilient Propagation (trainrp- RPROP) algorithms.
