Abstract: The depletion and production amounts of U, Pu, transplutonium nuclides and fission products (FPs) measured on the fuel of JPDR-1 were corrected to take account of the performance history of irradiation and cooling using the results of three-dimensional nuclear-thermo-hydrodynamic and nuclide depletion and production calculations. Except a few nuclides, the corrected values proved to agree well with the values calculated by the ORIGEN computer code. Further enhancement of calculational accuracy calls for systematic re-evaluation of neutron cross sections on the basis of neutron spectrum in nuclear fuel.
