Currently, more than 16% of world energy demand is fulfilled by nuclear power plants (NPPs). This amounts to 2800 TWh energy annually generated by more than 441 NPPs operating in 31 countries worldwide [17]. Amongst these NPPs, the LWRs contribute to more than 85% of total energy produced by all nuclear reactors [20]. With the advantage of being proven technology along with extensive operationa...

This paper is about minimizing intercellular movements of parts for the formation of manufacturing cells using GA approach. GA is a search technique based on the process of biological evolution and has been applied as an optimization method for the formation of manufacturing cells. Different GA operators and their importance in the optimization of cellular manufacturing have been discussed. A M...
