It is thought to improve the prediction accuracy for burnup characteristics using many burnup data of "Joyo" effectively. It is thought the best way to adjust cross-sections using sensitivity coefficients of burnup characteristics to utilize burnup data of "Joyo". Therefore in this work computer codes for analyzing sensitivity coefficients of burnup characteristics had been prepared since 1992. The results are as follows: (1) The computer codes which could analyze sensitivity coefficients of burnup characteristics taking into consideration plural cycles and refueling were prepared, therefore it came to be able to adjust cross-sections using burnup data and to estimate the accuracy for design of large LMFBR cores. (2) The adequacy of prepared codes was made sure by comparing with direct calculations. (NB: This document is a translation of PNC TJ9124 94-007 Vol.2 published in March 1997.)
