The requirements of ANSI/ANS 8.1 specify that calculational methods for away-from-reactor
(AFR) criticality safety analyses be validated against experimental measurements. If credit for the
negative reactivity of the depleted (or spent) fuel isotopics is desired, it is necessary to benchmark
computational methods against spent fuel critical configurations. This report summarizes a portion
of the ongoing effort to benchmark AFR criticality analysis methods using selected critical
configurations from commercial pressurized-water reactors (PWR).

The "Summary Report of SNF Isotopic Comparisons for the Disposal Criticality Analysis Methodology" contains a summary of the analyses that compare SNF measured isotopic concentrations (radiochemical assays) to calculated SNF isotop~c concentrations (SAS2H module ·orScale4.3). The results of these analyses are used to support the validation of the isotopic models for spent commercial light water reactor (LWR) fuel.

The purpose of this calculation is to document the Crystal River Unit 3 pressurized water reactor (PWR) fuel depletion calculations performed as part of the commercial reactor critical (CRC) evaluation program. The CRC evaluations support the development and validation of the neutronics models used for criticality analyses involving commercial spent nuclear fuel in a geologic repository.

The objectie of this calculation is to document the Grand Gulf, Unit 1, (GG1) fuel depletion calculations. The GG1 reactor is a boiling water reactor (BWR) owned and operated by Entergy Operations Inc. The Commercial Reactor Criticality (CRC) evaluations support the development and validation of the neutronic models used for criticality analyses involving commercial spent nuclear fuel in a geologic repository. This calculation is performed as part of the evaluation CRC program. This report is an engineering calculation supporting the burnup credit methodology of YMP 2000 (Ref.
