3. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR FUNCTION
The overall optimization is made for the power generating cost in the power system including several nuclear stations. FAPMAN-IC subroutines developed earlier were combined with the system integration model ORSIM, replacing the nuclear unit model originally implemented in the ORSIM code. The economic load dispatching is carried out in the ORSIM model following the loading order rule, and the power level, constant power days, refueling outage days, thermal efficiency and annual discount factor are transferred from ORSIM to FAPMAN-IC subroutines, where the cycle fuel cost and cycle incremental cost are calculated and taken back to the ORSIM model. The optimization continues with changing the loading order, until the discounted power cost converges.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME
It took about 7 hours (CPU time) for the sample problem shown in the report (ORNL-TM-4506) with NPTS=3, where 11 nuclear units are all PWR type with 2-region fuel loading.
The Gibson-mix averaged computation time of FACOM M150F is estimated to be 2 micro-seconds.
NEA-DB executed part of the test case included in the package on IBM 3081. An extrapolation to full execution gives an estimated execution time of about 25 minutes.
