A simple formula for computing fission product thermal cross sections and resonance integrals as a function of exposure is presented. Results determined by this formula agreed with those of previously published calculations to within four per cent. The formula was used in calculating the effective cross section and resonance integral as functions of fuel-processing cycle time in fluid-fueled reactors. (auth
