\subsection{The \moc{CVR:} module}\label{sect:cvr} \vskip 0.2cm The \moc{CVR:} module is used to update the fuel-type index and the coolant densities throughout the reactor core as required for the voiding simulations. A particular core-voiding pattern is either selected from the several pre-defined patterns \dusa{or} directly defined by the user in an arbitrary fashion. In the last case, the user may specify the individual voided channels by indicating their identification names. The \moc{CVR:} module will create a new (perturbed) \dds{fmap} object, in which the fuel-type mixtures indices are modified according to the specified core-voiding pattern. The information with respect to the relative coolant densities is required only for the subsequent interpolation of fuel properties using the \moc{NCR:} module. These data will also be reordered by the \moc{CVR:} module according to the specified voiding pattern and recorded as local parameter in the perturbed fuel-map object (see \Sect{resiniaram}).\\ \noindent The \moc{CVR:} module specification is: \begin{DataStructure}{Structure \moc{CVR:}} \dusa{FMAPV} \moc{:=} \moc{CVR:} \dusa{FMAP} \moc{::} \dstr{descrcvr} \end{DataStructure} \noindent where \begin{ListeDeDescription}{mmmmmmmm} \item[\dusa{FMAP}] \texttt{character*12} name of a read-only \dds{fmap} object, created in the \moc{RESINI:} module. This object must contain the non-perturbed fuel-cell properties. \item[\dusa{FMAPV}] \texttt{character*12} name of a new \dds{fmap} object, that will contain the modified fuel-type indices and reordered coolant densities according to the specified core-voiding pattern. \item[\dstr{descrcvr}] structure describing the input data to the \moc{CVR:} module. \end{ListeDeDescription} \vskip 0.2cm \subsubsection{Input data to the \moc{CVR:} module}\label{sect:cvrstr} \noindent Note that the input order must be respected.\\ \begin{DataStructure}{Structure \dstr{descrcvr}} ~\moc{EDIT} \dusa{iprint} \\ ( \moc{MIX-FUEL} \dusa{mixF}(i) ~\moc{MIX-VOID} \dusa{mixV}(i) , i = 1, \dusa{nfuel} ) \\ $[$ \moc{DENS-COOL} \dusa{PNAME} ~\moc{SET} \dusa{dcoolV} $]$ \\ ~\moc{VOID-PATTERN} $\{$ \moc{FULL} $|$ \moc{HALF} $|$ \moc{QUARTER} $|$ \moc{CHECKER} $|$ \moc{CHECKER-1/2} $|$ \moc{CHECKER-1/4} $|$ \\ ~\moc{CHAN-VOID} \dusa{nvoid} ( \dusa{YNAME}(i) \dusa{XNAME}(i) , i = 1, \dusa{nvoid} ) $\}$ \\ ~; \end{DataStructure} \noindent where \begin{ListeDeDescription}{mmmmmmmm} \item[\moc{EDIT}] keyword used to set \dusa{iprint}. \item[\dusa{iprint}] integer index used to control the printing on screen: = 0 for no print; = 1 for minimum printing; = 2 modified fuel indices and coolant densities are printed per bundle over each channel; = 3 modified fuel indices are printed per each radial plane; for larger values of \dusa{iprint} everything will be printed. \item[\moc{MIX-FUEL}] keyword used to specify \dusa{mixF}. \item[\dusa{mixF}] integer fuel-type mixture number of the non-perturbed fuel cell. This number must be specified for each fuel type as been recorded in the \dds{matex} object (see \Sect{usplitstr}). \item[\moc{MIX-VOID}] keyword used to specify \dusa{mixV}. \item[\dusa{mixV}] integer new mixture number assigned to the voided fuel cell. Note that this number must be specified for each fuel type and it must be different from any other reactor material mixtures. \item[\moc{DENS-COOL}] keyword used to specify \dusa{PNAME}. This information is required only for the interpolation of fuel properties using the \moc{NCR:} module. \item[\dusa{PNAME}] \texttt{character*12} user-defined identification name of local parameter associated with the relative coolant density. The recommended name is {\tt D-COOL}. This parameter name and the unperturbed densities values should be previously recorded in the \dusa{FMAP} object (see \Sect{resiniaram}). The same \dusa{PNAME} will be set for the coolant density in the perturbed \dusa{FMAPV}, but the actual values of coolant densities throughout the core will be reordered by the \moc{CVR:} module according to the specified voiding pattern. \item[\moc{SET}] keyword used to specify the value \dusa{dcoolV}. \item[\dusa{dcoolV}] real value of the relative coolant density (with respect to the nominal or unperturbed conditions) associated with the voided reactor channels. In general, this value equals to 0.0 for the complete voiding of a channel and to 1.0 for an unperturbed channel. Intermediate values of \dusa{dcoolV} will then correspond to the partially voided channels. It is supposed that all voided channels will have the same \dusa{dcoolV} value. \item[\moc{VOID-PATTERN}] keyword used to specify the core voiding pattern, which will be used for a particular voiding simulation. \item[\moc{FULL}] keyword used to specify the full-core voiding pattern. According to this pattern, the fuel mixtures will be modified for all reactor channels. \item[\moc{HALF}] keyword used to specify the half-core voiding pattern. According to this pattern, the fuel mixtures will be modified only for the upper-half of reactor channels. \item[\moc{QUARTER}] keyword used to specify the quarter-core voiding pattern. According to this pattern, the fuel mixtures will be modified only for the upper-left quarter of reactor channels. \item[\moc{CHECKER}] keyword used to specify the checkerboard-full voiding pattern. According to this pattern, the fuel mixtures will be modified for all reactor channels in which the direction of coolant flow is positive. \item[\moc{CHECKER-1/2}] keyword used to specify the checkerboard-half voiding pattern. According to this pattern, the fuel mixtures will be modified only for the upper-half of reactor channels in which the direction of coolant flow is positive. \item[\moc{CHECKER-1/4}] keyword used to specify the checkerboard-quarter voiding pattern. According to this pattern, the fuel mixtures will be modified only for the upper-left quarter of reactor channels in which the direction of coolant flow is positive. \item[\moc{CHAN-VOID}] keyword used to specify the user-defined voiding pattern. Each voided channel must be identified by its \dusa{YNAME} name followed by its \dusa{XNAME}. \item[\dusa{nvoid}] integer total number of the voided channels. This number must be greater than 0 and less than (or equal to) the total number of reactor channels. \item[\dusa{YNAME}] \texttt{character*2} vertical name of the voided channel. A vertical channel name is identified by the channel row using an alphabetical letter ('A', 'B', 'C', etc). The total number of the specified Y-names must equal to the total number of voided channels \dusa{nvoid}. \item[\dusa{XNAME}] \texttt{character*2} horizontal name of the voided channel. A horizontal channel name is identified by the channel column using a numerical character ('1', '2', '3', etc.). The total number of the specified X-names must equal to the total number of voided channels \dusa{nvoid}. \end{ListeDeDescription} \clearpage
