Actinide Mixing Optimization Solver
The Actinide Mixing Optimization Solver (AMOS) is a set of programs written in MATLAB that computes theoretical mixes of different uranium, plutonium, thorium, and other actinide materials given a list of isotopic reference materials. Constraints are applied depending on the desired product and a mixture is computed to meet the specified requirements. The optimal mixture consists of a product that uses the lowest possible number of initial actinide materials and has the lowest cost. AMOS is currently applied to particular reference material requests from the sponsoring agency (NNSA) on behalf of the IAEA.
