The ORIGEN2 code is a widely used point-depletion and radioactive-decay computer code for use in simulating nuclear fuel cycles and/or spent fuel characteristics. The code calculates the amount of each nuclide being considered in the problem at a specified number of times, and on request, a data base of conversion factors relating mass compositions to specific material characteristics is used to calculate and print the total nuclide-dependent radioactivity, thermal power, and toxicity, as well as absorption, fission, neutron emission, and photon emission rates. The purpose of this paper is to report on the availability of a version of ORIGEN2 that will calculate, on option, the derivative of all responses with respect to any variable used in the code.
