\subsection{The \moc{CRE:} module}\label{sect:cre}

The \moc{CRE:} module is used for the recovering and interpolation of nuclear
properties from one or many \dds{compo} objects, originated from the transport
calculations using lattice code DRAGON. A resulting \dds{macrolib}
will be created (or updated) by the \moc{CRE:} module, it will contain the nuclear
properties of some selected reactor materials.\\

\noindent
Two types of \dds{macrolib} can be constructed using the \moc{CRE:} module:

\begin{itemize}

\item  A \dds{macrolib} that will be constructed for the few reactor materials,
namely for the devices and/or reflector properties. It can also be created for
the few fuel regions defined in the reactor core. This \dds{macrolib} is
permitted to be updated for the new properties in the subsequent calls to the
\moc{CRE:} module.
\item A fuel-map \dds{macrolib} that will be constructed over the fuel lattice
only. This \dds{macrolib} will contain a set of interpolated fuel properties with
respect to the burnup distribution over the fuel lattice and according to the
interpolation option defined in the \dds{fmap} object. The total number of mixtures
in the resulting \dds{macrolib} will equal to the total number of fuel bundles.
\end{itemize}

\noindent
Note that the \moc{CRE:} module can be used only with the mono-parameter
\dds{compo} objects and the nuclear properties can be interpolated only with
respect to the burnup data. In case of the \dds{macrolib} construction from a
multi-parameter database, the \moc{NCR:} module should be used instead.
In this case, the interpolation of nuclear properties can be made with respect
to global and local parameters, if they were previously specified in the fuel-map
(see \Sect{resiniaram}).\\

\noindent
The \moc{CRE:} module specifications are:
