The present invention, in one aspect, is a method for identifying an optimum core loading arrangement. The method generally has an initialization phase and a running, or search, phase. In the initialization phase, an initial core loading arrangement is identified based on the relative reactivity levels of the bundles to be loaded and the reactor core locations. Once the initial core loading arrangement is identified, such arrangement is then optimized, within the defined constraints, in the running phase. More specifically, in the running phase, each core location is analyzed to determine whether such core location reactivity level can be changed from the initial reactivity level to either satisfy a constraint or optimize cycle energy, or both.
