This paper presents the analysis methodology that has been developed for evaluating the physics issues associated with burnup credit. It is applicable in the validation and characterization of fuel isotopics as well as in determining the influence of various analysis assumptions in terms of ..delta..k/sub eff/. The methodology is used in the calculation of reactor restart criticals and analysis of a typical burnup credit cask. 7 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
