The isotopic composition of spent nuclear fuels is vital data for studies on the nuclear fuel cycle and reactor physics. The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been active in obtaining such data for pressurized water reactor (PWR) and boiling water reactor (BWR) fuels, and some data has already been published. These data have been registered with the international Spent Fuel Isotopic Composition Database (SFCOMPO) and widely used as international benchmarks for burnup calculation codes and libraries. In this paper, postirradiation examination (PIE) data from two fuel assemblies irradiated in the Ohi-1 and Ohi-2 PWRs in Japan are shown. The PIE data from Ohi-2 has already been published. However, these data were not suitable for the benchmarking of calculation codes and libraries because several important specifications and data were not included. This paper summarizes the details of PIE data from Ohi-1 and Ohi-2 and shows in detail the data and specifications required for analyses of isotopic composition. For precise burnup analyses, the burnup values of PIE samples were re-evaluated in this study. These PIE data were analyzed using the SWAT2.1 code, and the calculation results showed good agreement with experimental results. This indicates that the quality of PIE data from Ohi-1 and Ohi-2 PWRs is high, and that these PIE data are suitable for the benchmarking of burnup calculation code systems.
