<br />

The time dependent irradiation conditions from the beginning of sample life, BOL, to the end of<br />

sample life, EOL, which is given in the irradiation report supplied from ICFM, linear power rate, etc.<br />

are considered in burnup calculation directly.<br />

<br />

All irradiation conditions are averaged through BOL to EOL, and then burnup calculation is<br />

performed with the averaged irradiation condition.<br />

11) <br />

The irradiation history effect coefficient is a ratio of each isotope concentration in fuel calculated<br />

with averaged burnup history calculation over the concentration evaluated with realistic burnup<br />

history calculation at the EOL given in the report.<br />

<br />

Once the irradiation history coefficient was obtained, the effect of the change of the irradiation<br />

condition through the sample irradiation can be reflected to the isotope concentration evaluated for<br />

the arbitrary sample burnup with averaged burnup history calculation. Therefore the isotope<br />

concentration at the burnup evaluated by radiochemical analysis, "Measured burnup", can be<br />

obtained with consideration of the change of the irradiation condition correctly. Finally the<br />

calculated isotope concentration can be compared with measured isotope concentration to obtain<br />

the C/E value.<br />

<br />

<br />

For highest burnup BWR MOX sample of MALIBU, C/E values for heavy metals are shown<br />

below. Calculation results with all libraries are agreed to measurements within about 5% for most major<br />

actinides. On the other hand, difference between calculation and measurements are over 10% for
