This document describes the inputs and processes used in a simulation of the spatial meshing, material assignment, power history, and burnup calculation of a nuclear fuel rod. Key steps include separating resonance parameters, revising cross-section libraries, specifying spectra constants, determining neutron flux profiles, calculating power and flux at meshes, and outputting results from a burnup calculation using ORIGEN.
