Since the mid-1980s, CASMO-3 has been used to generate two-group nodal data for SIMULATE-3. Development of CASMO-3 was based on the accuracy needed to analyze {approximately} 12-month cycle lengths. Fuel designs for these annual cycles contained low gadolinium loadings in only a few pins. As cycle lengths increased from 12 to 24 months, gadolinium loadings doubled and tripled, as did the number of pins containing gadolinium. The use of heavy burnable absorber loadings has been a driving force behind the development of CASMO-4.
