The problem of finding an exact analytical closed form solution to the degree of the nuclear fuel burn-up simple transcendental equation is studied in some detail, by using the Special trans functions theory (STFT). Structure of the STFT solutions, derivations, numerical results and graphical simulations confirm the validity and base principle of the STFT
