It +includes all of the functions that characterize a lattice cell code, namely: the +interpolation of microscopic cross sections which are supplied by means of +standard libraries; resonance self-shielding calculations in multidimensional +geometries; multigroup and multidimensional neutron flux calculations which can +take into account neutron leakage; transport-transport or transport-diffusion +equivalence calculations as well as editing of condensed and homogenized nuclear +properties for reactor calculations; and finally isotopic depletion calculations. + +\vskip 0.15cm + +The code DRAGON contains a multigroup iterator conceived to control a number of +different algorithms for the solution of the neutron transport equation. Each of +these algorithms is presented in the form of a one-group solution procedure +where the contributions from other energy groups are included in a source term. +The current version of DRAGON contains many such algorithms. The +SYBIL option which solves the integral transport equation using the collision +probability method for simple one-dimensional (1--D) geometries (either plane, +cylindrical or spherical) and the interface current method for 2--D Cartesian or hexagonal +assemblies. The EXCELL, NXT and SALT options which solves the integral transport equation +using the collision probability method for general 2--D geometries and for +three-dimensional (3--D) assemblies. The MCCG option solves the integro-differential +transport equation using the long characteristics method for general 2--D and +3--D geometries. + +\vskip 0.15cm + +The execution of DRAGON is controlled by the CLE-2000 supervisor. It is +modular and can be interfaced easily with other production codes. |
