This study presents an analysis of the ARIANE GU3 sample, in terms of nuclide inventory, as well as sample rod and assembly decay heat. The validation of a number of CASMO5 and library versions are performed with regards to the measured nuclide inventory, taking into account two dimensional lattice simulations. Uncertainties due to various sources (nuclear data, operating conditions and manufacturing tolerances) are also provided, and are combined with biases into expanded uncertainties. This study is similar to a previous one on the GU1 sample and fit in the framework of code validation, as well as in the estimation of code predictive power for spent fuel characterization.
