Abstract

The mathematical modeling of nuclear fuel burnup is based on the solution of a system of ordinary differential equations of the Bateman type. The particularities of the systems obtained are examined. Examples of possible computational inaccuracies of the ORIGEN2 code are presented. New approaches to the solution of isotopic kinetics problems with a complete basis of elements in the fission product yield, including short-lived elements, are examined.
