Number of nuclides that have to be computed to obtain a fraction (99%, 99.9%,..., 100% – ϵ, with ϵ = 10⁻¹²%) of the total decay heat computed by DARWIN with the JEFF-3.0 nuclear data library. Left: short cooling time in seconds from 0.1 to 10¹³ seconds. Right: long cooling time in days from 1 day to 10¹¹ years.
