monteburns, a burnup computer code that uses the Monte Carlo technique, was developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory to be applied to a variety of nuclear design calculations (see accompanying paper on the development of monteburns). It is a fully automated burnup code that incorporates multiple irradiation steps and many other options. However, two of the most important aspects of developing a code are describing how to use it and benchmarking it. Thus, the operational aspects and benchmarking results from monteburns are discussed in this summary.
