Abstract

This analysis is prepared by the Mined Geologic Disposal System (MGDS) Waste Package Development Department (WPDD) to provide pressurized water reactor (PWR) isotopic composition data as a function of time for use in criticality analyses. The objectives of this evaluation are to generate burnup and decay dependant isotopic inventories and to provide these inventories in a form which can easily be utilized in subsequent criticality calculations.
The SAS2H sequence in SCALE 4.2 (Ref. 5.4) is used to calculate the isotopic composition, as a function of time, for the PWR criticality design basis fuel assembly. The prime module of this sequence is the ORIGEN-S code. This code does a point depletion of a selected fuel type with user specified irradiation conditions. At the completion of the depletion calculation, decay of the irradiated fuel with user specified time intervals is computed.
