3. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR FUNCTION
ORIGEN-JR, which has been developed from ORIGEN, calculates radiation sources and analyses nuclide transmutations. The calculation of neutron source spectra has been revised extensively. In addition to the spectrum indices adopted in ORIGEN, one-group cross sections for each reaction can be used to treat precisely the burnup conditions in a reactor core. Neutron and gamma-ray source data are generated in the same format as in the shielding codes QAD-PS, ANISN and DOT.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION
The code solves the equations of radioactive nuclide transmutation and calculates radiation sources. Energy spectra of neutron sources in spontaneous fission and (alpha, n) reactions of eight nuclides (9Be, 10B, 11B, 13C, 14N, 170, 180 and 19F) are available. Complex decay and transmutation schemes and one-group reaction cross sections can be treated.
A Matrix Exponential method is used to solve the resultant large system of coupled, linear, first-order, ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM
The code will handle 850 nuclides of which no more than 500 are described as light elements, no more than 120 are actinides and their decay daughters, and no more than 500 are fission products.
Fission products are produced by fission rates of five different actinides. In addition, there may be no more than 3000 non-zero elements in the nuclear transmutation matrix. Numerical inaccuracies due to too coarse a time spacing are indicated by a warning message.
Neutron spectra due to (alpha, n) reaction can be calculated by no more than 61 actinides and 8 light nuclides.
