Abstract
In the paper some results of validation of the SCALE4.4 depletion control module SAS2H against experimental data are presented. The recently published ISTC report with VVER-440 PIE data for fuel samples from Novovoronez NPP and ORNL publication with VVER-1000 experimental data for fuel samples from Balakovo NPP have been applied for preliminary validation of depletion calculations. The calculated results for 14 actinides and 14 fission products for VVER-440 samples and for 12 actinides and 5 fission products for VVER-1000 samples have been compared with measured isotopic concentrations.
