Optimization of Radioactive Waste Management System by Application of Multiobjective Linear Programming

Solving multiobjective linear programming problems using ball center of polytopes

Here‎, ‎we aim to develop a new algorithm for solving a multiobjective linear programming problem‎. ‎The algorithm is to obtain a solution which approximately meets the decision maker's preferences‎. ‎It is proved that the proposed algorithm always converges to a weak efficient solution and at times converges to an efficient solution‎. ‎Numerical examples and a simulation study are used to illu...

Optimization of radioactive waste storage.

In several countries, low-level radioactive wastes are treated and stored awaiting construction and operation of a final repository. In some cases, interim storage may be extended for decades requiring special attention regarding security issues. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recommends segregation of wastes that may be exempted from interim storage or ultimate disposal. The pap...

Waste management Radioactive waste management policies

Eight senior government representatives outlined the views and policies of their countries in the field of radioactive waste management at a "scientific afternoon" during the 27th Regular Session of the General Conference of the IAEA in Vienna in October. The countries represented were Argentina, France, the Federal Republic of Germany. India, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the USA; sta...

Multiobjective Optimization of Truss Topology by Linear/Sequential Linear Programming Method

The present paper deals with a multiobjective optimization of truss topology by either Sequential Linear Programming (SLP) method or Linear Programming (LP) method. The ground structure approach is often used to solve this kind of design problems. In this paper, the topology optimization is formulated as a Multiobjective Optimization Problem (MOP), which is to find the cross-sectional area of t...
