BAs compensate for the initial excess reactivity and consequently allow longer fuel cycles with higher fuel enrichments. Advanced types of BAs would increase fuel utilization by combining rapidly depleted BA like gadolinium with long-term effect of slowly-depleted BA like europium. State-of-art depletion codes require large amount of computational time, therefore, decision to develop fast depletion code was made. Currently developed UWB1 depletion code comprises of transport and burnup solver, both aiming to fast calculation of nuclear fuel depletion. In order to achieve low computational time, selected equations and data libraries describing fuel behavior was simplified, resulting in balanced accuracy and speed of the code. The paper describes validation calculations of Monte Carlo solver that is used in UWB1 depletion code.
