If negative number is entered <strong>for</strong> IBC2, the nuclide <strong>for</strong> depletion fraction in<br />

output edit is replaced from U-235 by that specified by Block-4. Especially <strong>for</strong><br />

IBC2=-5, the burn-up step is defined by depletion fraction of the specified nuclide.<br />

IBC3<br />

Burn-up mode<br />

= ±1 Normal burn-up calculation<br />

= ±2 Branch-off calculation (entry Block-5 is required)<br />

= ±3 Burn-up calculation under constant flux<br />

= ±4 Burn-up calculation by reading initial composition from Block-6<br />

Note:<br />

If negative number is entered <strong>for</strong> IBC3, restart calculation is executed <strong>to</strong><br />

succeed the last step of the previous calculation of the same case name.<br />

The following burn-up calculation modes can be selected here.<br />

• Normal burn-up calculation: The depletion equation is solved by assuming<br />

constant power level in each burn-up step interval. (cf. Sect.7.7)<br />

• Branch-off calculation: Depletion equation is not solved. After the normal<br />

burn-up calculation, cell calculation is per<strong>for</strong>med along burn-up by using the<br />

fuel composition obtained by the normal burn-up mode but in the different cell<br />

conditions (e.g. temperature, void fraction, boron concentration, etc.)<br />

• Constant flux calculation: In the blanket fuel, power density increases in<br />

proportion <strong>to</strong> production of fissile nuclides. In such a case, the normal burn-up<br />

calculation model may be not proper. In this mode, a burn-up calculation is<br />

per<strong>for</strong>med with constant flux level determined by the initial power or input<br />

value. In the latter case, burn-up calculation is possible <strong>for</strong> the cell including<br />

burnable nuclides but no fissionable ones.<br />

• Burn-up by reading initial composition: After a normal burn-up calculation, new<br />

case of burn-up calculation can be done in different cell conditions by reading<br />

the fuel composition from the normal calculation result at an arbitrary burn-up<br />

step.<br />
