oron should be specified as non-depleting <strong>to</strong> keep the number of depleting materials.<br />

• Burn-up calculation by reading the initial composition<br />

To execute the burn-up calculation by reading the initial composition, the member caseBNUP<br />

(cf. Sect.3.1) of the reference case must be preserved on MACRO or MACROWRK file. Input data <strong>for</strong><br />

geometry, number of materials, the order of materials (=material number), the burn-up chain model,<br />

etc. used in the reference case must be consistent in the calculation.<br />

• Cooling calculation<br />

The cooling calculation, mainly, aims <strong>to</strong> study the effect of decay of short lived nuclides after<br />

reac<strong>to</strong>r shut down. When this cooling option is used <strong>to</strong> evaluate radio-<strong>to</strong>xicity during several<br />

thousands of years, the decay chain models <strong>for</strong>med <strong>to</strong> study burn-up behavior in reac<strong>to</strong>rs should be<br />

carefully checked. Some model, <strong>for</strong> example, skips production paths because of the long half-life<br />

compared with neutron absorption reaction.<br />
