The time-dependent process by -which nuclides transmute and decay is known as *depletion* or *burnup*. To +time, nuclides within the material will transmute due to nuclear reactions as +well as spontaneous radioactive decay. The time-dependent process by which +nuclides transmute under irradiation is known as *depletion* or *burnup*. To accurately analyze nuclear systems, it is often necessary to predict how the composition of materials will change since this change results in a corresponding change in the solution of the transport equation.
