\subsection{The {\tt SCR:} module}\label{sect:SCRData}

This component of DONJON is dedicated to the interpolation of
{\sc macrolib} data from a {\sc saphyb} object, the reactor database produced by module {\tt SAP:}
in DRAGON or by module {\tt SAPHYB:} in APOLLO2.\cite{apollo2} A set of {\sl global parameters} are defined for each material mixture and
used as multi-dimensional interpolation variables.

\end{DataStructure}

\noindent where
\begin{ListeDeDescription}{mmmmmmm}

\item[\dusa{MLIB}] {\tt character*12} name of a {\sc microlib} (type {\tt L\_LIBRARY}) or {\sc macrolib} (type {\tt L\_MACROLIB}) containing the interpolated data.
If this object also appears on the RHS of structure \dstr{SCR:}, it is open in modification mode and updated.

\item[\dusa{MLIB2}] {\tt character*12} name of an optional {\sc microlib} object whose content is copied on \dusa{MLIB}.

\item[\dusa{SAPNAM1}] {\tt character*12} name of the {\sc lcm} object containing the
{\sc saphyb} data structure ({\tt L\_SAPHYB} signature).

\item[\dusa{SAPNAM2}] {\tt character*12} name of an additional {\sc lcm} object containing an auxiliary
{\sc saphyb} data structure ({\tt L\_SAPHYB} signature). This object is optional.

\item[\dusa{MAPFL}] {\tt character*12} name of the {\sc map} object containing fuel regions description, global parameter
information (burnup, fuel/coolant temperatures, coolant density, etc). Keyword \moc{TABLE} is expected in \dstr{scr\_data}.

\item[\dusa{scr\_data}] input data structure containing interpolation information (see \Sect{descscr}).

\end{ListeDeDescription}

Note: {\sc saphyb} files generated by APOLLO2 don't have a signature. If such a {\sc saphyb} is given as input
to module {\tt SCR:}, a signature must be included before using it. The following instruction
can do the job:
\begin{verbatim}
Saphyb := UTL: Saphyb :: CREA SIGNATURE 3 = 'L_SA' 'PHYB' ' ' ;

{\tt ;}
\end{DataStructure}

\noindent where
\begin{ListeDeDescription}{mmmmmmmm}

\item[\moc{EDIT}] keyword used to set \dusa{iprint}.

\item[\dusa{iprint}] index used to control the printing in module {\tt SCR:}. =0 for no print; =1 for minimum printing (default value).
 
\item[\moc{RES}] keyword indicating that the interpolation is done only for the microscopic cross sections and not for the isotopic densities. In this case, a RHS {\sc microlib} must be defined and the number densities are recovered from it. This option is useful for micro-depletion applications. {\bf Important note:} It is possible to force interpolation of some isotopic densities with \moc{RES} option if these
isotopes are explicitely specified with a ``\moc{*}'' flag after \moc{MICRO} keyword in \dusa{descints} input data structure (see \Sect{descints}).

\item[\moc{PURE}] keyword indicating that the interpolation is a pure linear combination of terp factors. The fission spectra are {\sl not}
renormalized. By default, non-linear effects are produced by renormalization operations.

\item[\moc{UPS}] keyword to specify that the macrolib and/or microlib cross sections recovered from a Saphyb are
corrected so as to eliminate up-scattering. This option is useful for reactor analysis codes which cannot
take into account such cross sections.

\item[\moc{MACRO}] keyword indicating that \dusa{MLIB} is a {\sc macrolib} (default option).

\item[\moc{MICRO}] keyword indicating that \dusa{MLIB} is a {\sc microlib}. Object \dusa{MLIB} contains an embedded {\sc macrolib}, but the CPU time required to obtain it is longer.

\item[\moc{LINEAR}] keyword indicating that interpolation of the {\sc saphyb} uses linear Lagrange polynomials (default option).

\item[\moc{CUBIC}] keyword indicating that interpolation of the {\sc saphyb} uses the Ceschino method
with cubic Hermite polynomials, as presented in Ref.~\citen{Intech2011}.

\item[\moc{LEAK}] keyword used to introduce leakage in the embedded {\sc macrolib}. This option should only be used for non-regression tests.

\item[\dusa{b2}] the imposed buckling corresponding to the leakage.

\item[\moc{EQUI}] keyword used to select a SPH factor set in the Saphyb. By default, the cross sections and diffusion coefficients
are not SPH-corrected.

\item[\moc{MASL}] keyword used to recover the heavy metal density in the local parameter data of the Saphyb. 

\item[\dusa{TEXT4}] character*4 user-defined keyword of the SPH factor set or heavy metal density selected in the Saphyb. These sets are stored as local parameter information in the Saphyb.

\item[\moc{NMIX}] keyword used to define the maximum number of material mixtures. This information is required only if \dusa{MLIB} is created.

\item[\dusa{nmixt}] the maximum number of mixtures (a mixture is characterized by a distinct set of 
macroscopic cross sections) the {\sc macrolib} may contain. The default value is \dusa{nmixt} $=0$ or the value recovered from \dusa{MLIB} if it appears on the RHS
of structure \dstr{scr\_data}.

\item[\moc{SAPHYB}] keyword used to set \dusa{SAPNAM} and to define each global parameter.

\item[\moc{TABLE}] keyword used to set \dusa{SAPNAM} and to recover some global parameter from a {\sc map} object named \dusa{MAPFL}.

\item[\dusa{SAPNAM}] {\tt character*12} name of the {\sc lcm} object containing the
{\sc saphyb} data structure where the interpolation is performed. This name must be set in the RHS of structure \dstr{SCR:}.

\item[\dusa{namburn}] {\tt character*4} name of the parameter for burnup (or irradiation).
This value is defined if option \moc{TABLE} is set {\sl and} if burnup (or irradiation) is to be considered as parameter.

\item[\dusa{naval}] {\tt character*4} identification name corresponding to the basic naval-coordinate position of the assembly where burnups are recovered. The axial burnup distribution of this assembly is
used for interpolation. {\tt SIM} option should be set in module {\tt RESINI:} (see Sect.~\ref{sect:resinimain}). This option is useful to interpolate reflector properties as a function of the
neighbour fuel assembly burnup. By default, burnup values of the interpolated fuel assembly are used.

\item[\dusa{descints}] input data structure containing interpolation information relative to the {\sc saphyb} data structure named \dusa{SAPNAM} (see \Sect{descints}).

\item[\dstr{descdepl}] input structure describing the depletion chain (see \Sect{descdepld}). This input structure requires option \moc{MICRO}. By
default, the depletion chain data is not written in the output {\sc microlib}.

\subsubsection{Defining global parameters}\label{sect:descints}

\vskip -0.5cm

If a {\sc map} object is defined on the RHS of structure \dstr{SCR:}, and if the \moc{TABLE} keyword is set, some information required to set the interpolation points is found in this object.
In this case, the {\tt SCR:} operator search the {\sc saphyb} object for global parameters  having an arbitrary name specified in the {\sc map} object or set directly in this module.
Note that any parameter's value set directly in this module prevails on a value stored in the \dusa{MAPFL} object.

Each instance of \dusa{descints} is a data structure specified as

\begin{DataStructure}{Structure \dstr{descints}}

By default, the type of calculation (\moc{TIMAV-BURN} or \moc{INST-BURN}) is recovered from the \dusa{MAPFL} object.

\item[\moc{AVG-EX-BURN}] keyword used to compute the derivatives of cross-section information relative to the exit burnup of a single combustion zone. The derivatives are computed using Eq.~(3.3) of Ref.~\citen{chambon}, written as
$$
{\partial \bar\Sigma_x\over \partial B_j^{\rm e}}={1\over B_j^{\rm e}\, (B_{j,k}^{\rm eoc}-B_{j,k}^{\rm boc})}
\left[- \int_{B_{j,k}^{\rm boc}}^{B_{j,k}^{\rm eoc}}dB \, \Sigma_x(B)+B_{j,k}^{\rm eoc}\, \Sigma_x(B_{j,k}^{\rm eoc})-B_{j,k}^{\rm boc}\, \Sigma_x(B_{j,k}^{\rm boc})\right]
$$

\noindent where $B_{j,k}^{\rm boc}$, $B_{j,k}^{\rm eoc}$, and $B_j^{\rm e}$ are the beginning of cycle burnup of bundle $\{j,k\}$, end of cycle burnup of bundle $\{j,k\}$ and exit burnup of channel $j$. This option is available {\sl only if} a \dusa{MAPFL} object is set.

with a \moc{MIX} keyword). Note: see at the ending note of this section for a detailed description and examples.

\item[\moc{ADD}] keyword used to indicate a delta-sigma calculation between \dusa{val2} and \dusa{val1} is added to the reference value
(i.e., $\Delta\sigma=\sigma_{\rm val2}-\sigma_{\rm val1}$ is used as contribution, $\sigma_{\rm ref}+\Delta\sigma$ or $\Delta\sigma_{\rm ref}+\Delta\sigma$ is returned). Note: see at the ending note of this section for a detailed description and examples.

\item[\moc{LINEAR}] keyword indicating that interpolation of the {\sc saphyb} for parameter \dusa{PARKEY} uses linear Lagrange

\item[\moc{MAP}] keyword used to indicate that the value of parameter \dusa{val1} or the second value for the $\Delta\sigma$ calculation is
recovered from \dusa{MAPFL}, i.e. the {\sc map} object containing fuel regions description.

\subsubsection{Interpolation in the parameter grid}

The following example corresponds to a delta-sigma computation in mixture 1 corresponding to a perturbation. Note that in this case, the \moc{MACROLIB} object  may content negative cross-section. 
\begin{verbatim}
MACROLIB := SCR: SAP ::
   EDIT 40 NMIX 1 SAPHYB SAP
   MIX 1  !(* delta sigma contribution *)
          SET 'CELL' '3D'
          DELTA 'PITCH' 0.0 1.0
   ENDMIX
;
\end{verbatim}

When the number of parameters used for the interpolation is increased, all the lattice computations corresponding to all the combinations of parameters may not be done for computation time reasons. In this case, some approximations may be required. The choice for the \moc{SET}, \moc{DELTA} and \moc{ADD} is then dependent of the structure of the database (i.e. how the database grid of possibilities is filled). When a {\sc map} object containing fuel regions description is used, the problem become even more complex, because values have to be automatically changed for all bundles. In order to clarify all the different possibilities and limitations dependently of the database structure, we will use a 3 parameter case. The paramaters are referenced by 'A', 'B' and 'C'. But before we explain the different cases, we want to remind that the interpolation factors are computed on each axis seperatly.

The first case corresponds to a complete grid, represented by a gray paralepiped on Fig. \ref{figNCRGRIDINS} and \ref{figNCRGRIDTA}. The
figure \ref{figNCRGRIDINS} shows that the interpolated value in point $V$ can be obtained directly without {\sc map} object. For time-average (TA) computation, lets assume that the parameter 'B' represents the burnup (and keep this convention for other database structure also). In this case the figure \ref{figNCRGRIDTA} shows also that the direct interpolation can be done to compute an average value between the points $V'$ and $V$. Note that the TA burnups are stored in the {\sc map} object, and are then recovered automatically.

The second case corresponds to a partial grid where all the lattice computations have been perfomed for several pairs of parameters, which are represented as the gray rectangles on Fig. \ref{figNCRPLANEINS} and \ref{figNCRPLANETA}. If we use the notations of Fig. \ref{figNCRPLANEINS} and \ref{figNCRPLANETA}, the best estimate interpolated values, $f$, we can get are given by: \\
$f=f(V)~\approx~f(V_B)+(f(V_{BA})-f(V_B))+(f(V_{BC})-f(V_B))=f(V_{BC})+(f(V_{BA})-f(V_B))=f(V_{BA})+(f(V_{BC})-f(V_B))$ for instataneous\\
$f=f(V',V)~\approx~f(V'_B,V_B)+(f(V'_{BA},V_{BA})-f(V'_B,V_B))+(f(V'_{BC},V_{BC})-f(V'_B,V_B))=f(V'_{BC},V_{BC})+(f(V'_{BA},V_{BA})-f(V'_B,V_B))=f(V'_{BA},V_{BA})+(f(V'_{BC},V_{BC})-f(V'_B,V_B))$ for TA\\
~~~~where $f(.,.)$ represents the average value between two points.

The third case corresponds to a minimal grid, where the lattice computations have been perfomed only for one parameter variation at a time. In this case, the grid is represented by the thick gray lines on the axis on Fig. \ref{figNCRAXEINS} and \ref{figNCRAXETA}. If we use the notations of Fig. \ref{figNCRAXEINS} and \ref{figNCRAXETA}, the best estimate interpolated values, $f$, we can get are given by: \\
$f=f(V)~\approx~f(V_0)+(f(V_A)-f(V_0))+(f(V_B)-f(V_0))+(f(V_C)-f(V_0))=f(V_B)+(f(V_A)-f(V_0))+(f(V_C)-f(V_0))$ for instataneous\\
$f=f(V',V)~\approx~f(V'_B,V_B)+(f(V_A)-f(V_0))+(f(V_C)-f(V_0))$ for TA\\
Note that the reference point ($V_0$ in the example) does not have to be the same for all parameters. Database structures such as represented on Fig \ref{figNCRAXEINSbis} can also been used. In this case, we even have two choices for the $\Delta f$ computation on axis 'A'. 

The last case is in fact a mix of cases 2 and 3. The gray rectangle and the gray line on Fig. \ref{figNCRPLAXINS} and \ref{figNCRPLAXTA} reprensent where all the lattice computations have been performed. With the notations used on those figures, one can write that the best estimate interpolated values, $f$, we can get are given by: \\
$f=f(V)~\approx~f(V_B)+(f(V_{BC})-f(V_B))+(f(V_A)-f(V_0))=f(V_{BC})+(f(V_A)-f(V_0))$ for instataneous\\
$f=f(V',V)~\approx~f(V'_B,V_B)+(f(V'_{BC},V_{BC})-f(V'_B,V_B))+(f(V_A)-f(V_0))=f(V'_{BC},V_{BC})+(f(V_A)-f(V_0))$ for TA\\
Note once again that the reference point ($V_0$ in the example) does not have to be the same for all parameters. Database structures such as represented on Fig \ref{figNCRPLAXINSbis} can also been used.
