The prediction accuracies of key neutronic characteristics including burnup properties evaluated with use of the sensitivity-based methodology have been reviewed for a fast breeder reactor. The bias factor method, the cross section adjustment method and the combined method are used to evaluate the prediction accuracies. The calculation method of sensitivity coefficients used in the uncertainty analysis is discussed. The three methods are compared from the theoretical and numerical points. For the numerical comparison, they are applied to a 1,000 MWe fast breeder reactor. The prediction uncertainties are within the range of 0.7-1.0% for kef!, 3-5% for control rod worth, 1-2% for 239 Pu fission rate distribution, 12% for burnup reactivity loss and 1.5% for breeding ratio. These values are much smaller than those predicted without any integral data.
