Keywords:CANDLE, Monte Carlo, MVP-BURN

The purpose of this study is to develop a procedure to analyze the burnup characteristics of CANDLE burning reactor by Monte Carlo based method. In this research, the MVP and MVP-BURN were applied with the nuclear data library JENDL-4.0. To simulate the fuel shuffling process, an auxiliary code was developed. The results show that the burnup analysis was performed successfully.
