Samenvatting:
OCTOPUS depletion calculations using the 3D Monte Carlo spectrum codeMCNP (Monte Carlo Code for Neutron and Photon Transport) require much
computing time. In a former implementation, the time required by OCTOPUS to
perform multi-zone calculations, increased roughly proportional to the number
of burnable zones. By using a different method the situation has improved
considerably. In the new implementation described here, the dependence of the
computing time on the number of zones has been moved from the MCNP code to a
faster postprocessing code. By this, the overall computing time will reduce
substantially. 11 refs.
