Isotopic prediction simulations applied to high burnup samples irradiated in VANDELLÓS-II Reactor core

摘要

Isotopic content assessment has a paramount importance for safety and storage reasons. Duringud the latest years, a great variety of codes have been developed to perform transport and decayud calculations, but only those that couple both in an iterative manner achieve an accurate prediction ofud the final isotopic content of irradiated fuels. Needless to say, them all are supposed to pass the test ofud the comparison of their predictions against the corresponding experimental measures.
