Development of a MCNP-ORIGEN burn-up calculation code system and its accuracy assessment

The comparison results show that the MCORE code predicts the nuclide composition within 5% accuracy and k∞ within 800 pcm at the end of the burn-up for LEU assembly (40 MWD/kg HM). For a fast reactor, the results obtained by MCORE are in the range of reported results except for 243Am. In general, MCORE results show a good agreement with the benchmark values.
