\subsection{The \moc{LZC:} module}\label{sect:lzc}
The \moc{LZC:} module is used for the modeling of liquid zone controllers, which
are normally presented in the CANDU6-type reactor core. The liquid zone controllers
specifications are read from the input data file. Note that this modeling can be made
after the rod-type devices have been previously defined using the \moc{DEVINI:}
module (see \Sect{dev}). In this case, the previously created \dds{device} object
will be updated by the \moc{LZC:} module; it will store the additional and separate
information with respect to the liquid controllers (see \Sect{device}). \\
The liquid zone controller specification includes several device parameters, such as:
the whole device position, water filling level, direction of filling, etc. Note that a liquid
zone controller is normally composed of two parts: one part is empty and the second
part is full-filled. The water level can be adjusted according to the control reactivity
requirements. The controllers positions are referred using \dusa{3-D}-Cartesian
coordinates. Several devices parameters can be modified using the \moc{DSET:}
module (see \Sect{dset}). The liquid controllers can also be divided into the several
user-defined groups so that they can be manipulated simultaneously.\\
\noindent
The \moc{LZC:} module specification is:
\begin{DataStructure}{Structure \moc{LZC:}}
\dusa{DEVICE} \dusa{MATEX} \moc{:=} \moc{LZC:}
$[$ \dusa{DEVICE} $]$ \dusa{MATEX} \moc{::} \dstr{desclzc}
\end{DataStructure}
\noindent where
\begin{ListeDeDescription}{mmmmmmmm}
\item[\dusa{DEVICE}] \texttt{character*12} name of the \dds{device} object.
Note, if the rod-type devices are not present in the reactor core, then \dusa{DEVICE}
object must appear only on the LHS (i.e. in create mode), it will contain the information
only with respect to the liquid zone controllers. However, if the rod-type devices
are present in the reactor core, then they must be specified first (i.e. before the
liquid controllers) using the \moc{DEVINI:} module (see \Sect{dev}). In the last
case, the \dusa{DEVICE} object must also appear on the RHS (i.e. in modification
mode), it will contain the additional and separate information with respect to the
liquid zone controllers.
\item[\dusa{MATEX}] \texttt{character*12} name of the \dds{matex} object
that will be updated by the module. The lzc-devices material mixtures are
appended to the previous material index and the lzc-devices indices are
also modified, accordingly.
\item[\dstr{desclzc}] structure describing the input data to the \moc{LZC:} module.

\item[\moc{EDIT}] keyword used to set \dusa{iprint}.
\item[\dusa{iprint}] integer index used to control the printing on screen:

produce increasing amounts of output.
\item[\moc{NUM-LZC}] keyword used to specify \dusa{nlzc}.
\item[\dusa{nlzc}] integer total number of liquid zone controllers.
This number must be greater than 0.

liquid controller.
\item[\dstr{lzc-group}] structure describing the input data for each group of
liquid controllers.
\end{ListeDeDescription}
\vskip 0.2cm
\subsubsection{Description of dev-lzc input structure}\label{sect:devlzcstr}
Note that the devices positions can not overlap in the reactor core. The input order of data
must be respected.
\begin{DataStructure}{Structure \dstr{dev-lzc}}

when the controller is full-filled. For the partially filled controller the water level
must be: 0.0 $<$ \dusa{value} $<$ 1.0
