=========
When materials in a system are subject to irradiation over a long period of
time, nuclides within the material will transmute due to nuclear reactions,
producing other nuclides which may be radioactive. 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. The equation
