Modification of the Monte Carlo depletion calculation code OpenMC was performed to enable the depletion calculation of the subcritical neutron multiplying system. With the modified code, it became possible to evaluate the quantity of short half-life fission products from spontaneous and induced fissions in the subcritical system. As a preliminary study, it was applied to the fuel debris storage canister filled with nuclear materials and spontaneous fission nuclides. It was confirmed that the code could successfully provide a quantity of short half-life FPs over time and provide the relationship between the activity ratio of Kr-88 to Xe-135 and effective neutron multiplication factor of the canister.

Fuel debris has inherent neutron sources due to mostly spontaneous fissions. Therefore, the fuel debris inside a canister can be seen as a subcritical system with fixed neutron sources. A depletion calculation for the fuel debris inside the canister has been performed. The calculation results show the activity ratio of Kr-to-
Xe in the fuel debris canister depending on the material compositions and effective neutron multiplication factor.
