This lecture covers the non-linearity of the depletion problem in nuclear reactors, discussing burnup algorithms, time-step discretization methods, and the use of predictor-corrector methods to improve accuracy. It also explores LWR fuel evolution, spent fuel composition, refueling techniques, and the role of boric acid control in PWRs.
