Resumo
Several fuel plants that supply nuclear research reactors need to increase their production
capacity in order to meet the growing demand for this kind of nuclear fuel.
After the enlargement of the production capacity of such plants, there will be the
need of managing the new production level. That level is usually the industrial one,
which poses challenges to the managerial staff. Such challenges come from the fact
that several of those plants operate today on a laboratorial basis and do not carry inventory.
The change to the industrial production pace asks for new actions regarding
planning and control. The production process based on the hydrolysis of UF6 is not
a frequent production route for nuclear fuel. Production planning and control of the
industrial level of fuel production on that production route is a new field of studies.
The approach of the paper consists in the creation of a mathematical linear model for
minimization of costs. We also carried out a sensitivity analysis of the model. The
results help in minimizing costs in different production schemes and show the need
of inventory. The mathematical model is dynamic, so that it issues better results if
performed monthly. The management team will therefore have a clearer view of the
costs and of the new, necessary production and inventory levels.
