Moreover, the growing demand for new and existing isotopes is beginning to challenge the capacity of HFIR. This work explores the development and integration of metaheuristic (MH) optimization techniques for more efficient target design and irradiation strategies. As a test case, the optimization framework was applied to a routinely produced isotope at HFIR, ¹⁸⁸W, with the objective of maximizing the specific activity (SA), a key production metric. The framework includes Gnowee, a Python-based MH optimization algorithm, coupled with the Monte Carlo N-Particle version 6 (MCNP6) and Oak Ridge Isotope Generation (ORIGEN) activation/depletion/decay codes to design, simulate, and evaluate thousands of potential target design and irradiation scheme candidates. The framework relies on mock input files, design and irradiation variables for the algorithm to select, as well as a user-defined objective function to score each candidate based on the returned SA. Given the inherent complexities and computational time required when modeling and simulating the full HFIR model, a novel simplified MCNP6 model is presented in this article to increase the computational efficiency of the framework. The variables explored include irradiation location, number of cycles, and the number of W samples. Over 1,000 simplified model candidates were simulated in the same amount of time as a single full HFIR model run. By comparing the simplified model optimization’s top candidate(s) with the full HFIR model results, the framework was verified to accurately explore the design space and converge on the top performing candidates. Lastly, past experimental data was compared to the data generated by the framework/model and both show that fewer W rings return higher SA, as expected. The verified and validated techniques provide a standardized solution to increase IP efficiencies by exploring thousands of unique target designs and irradiation strategies in a similar time as that required to run a single case in the full HFIR MCNP6 model. Both the novel simplified model and the full HFIR model show a more than 30% increase in SA if all presented modifications are applied to the current design and strategy. Thus, the objective of building a general-use, computationally efficient optimization framework for HFIR IP was accomplished, and has the potential to be applied to other IP campaigns.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8096,"journal":{"name":"Applied Radiation and Isotopes","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 111592"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142723539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gamma radiation-induced mutagenesis is an alternate approach for generating a diverse array of agronomically useful mutants, accelerating varietal development in a long-duration crop like sugarcane. To develop agronomically useful mutants of a commercial sugarcane genotype Co 99004, gamma ray induced <em>in vitro</em> mutagenesis was carried out. The phenotypic variants of Co 99004 in V1 generation could be categorized into five distinct phenotypically scorable classes, including three chlorophyll mutants (albina, chlorina and chlorina pigmented) and two green mutants like wild type control. SRAP marker analyses indicated distinct genomic variation among the phenotypic mutants and control plants, with the polymorphic information content (PIC) ranging from 0 to 0.472. Further, the phylogenetic dendrogram derived from the SRAP marker data grouped the mutants into four distinct clusters clearly differentiating the phenotypic classification. Sequencing of selected SRAP amplicons indicated deletion/insertion of gene specific fragments. Interestingly, the loss of chlorophyll in albina and chlorina mutants showed gamma irradiation-induced deletions in the gene encoding FAR1-RELATED SEQUENCE 5-like protein, which is involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis. GC-MS based metabolome profiling showed alteration in tetrapyrrole biosynthesis, MEP (Methylerythritol Phosphate), and fatty acid biosynthesis pathways, indicating a significant metabolic variation in the chlorophyll mutants. Further characterization of the genetically distinct, non-lethal green wild type mutants can lead to the identification of agronomically useful mutants.
