The feasibility of using Origen+ARP code for depletion and decay calculations for Krško NPP was tested by performing depletion and decay calculations using interpolated libraries and comparing the results to the ones calculated from non-interpolated libraries in order to evaluated the number of libraries needed in order to interpolate fuel properties with sufficient precision for any realistic burnup scenario. For Krško NPP fuel, using three interpolation libraries with different decay heat parameters was enough to bring the approximation error bellow 0:5 % when comparing fuel decay heat through the decay interval.
Key words: depletion / decay / interpolation / SCALE
