On the ongoing computation of the LVR-15 reactor fuel burnup
Isotopic composition of the LVR-15 reactor fuel changes significantly during the operation time. In order to enable Monte Carlo calculations of the LVR-15 core throughout any reasonable time period, the isotopic compositions of partially depleted fuel ...
