Abstract: The Chebyshev Rational Approximation Method (CRAM) algorithm has become the method of choice for modern nuclear depletion calculations. A simple modification of the CRAM yields not only depleted nuclide amounts but also time-averaged nuclide amounts, with little additional calculation cost. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
