%EJCT Card

This card us used for transient problems due to control rods insertion or withdrawal. This card is mandatory if calculation mode is RODEJECT.

%EJCT Variable Description Remarks or examples
LINE 1 FBPOS(n) Final bank n position after ejection and/or insertion (step) Repeat this line NB times (NB = Number of CR bank)
  TMOVE(n) When bank n starts move (second)  
  BSPEED(n) Bank n speed (steps/second)  
LINE 2 TTOT Total simulation time (seconds) Example: 60. 0.1 40.0 1.0
  TSTEP1 First time step (seconds)  
  TDIV When to start second time step (seconds)  
  TSTEP2 Second time step (seconds)  
LINE 3 IBETA(1:6) 6-groups delayed neutron fraction Not necessary of %XTAB card present
LINE 4 LAMB(1:6) 6-groups precursor decay constant Not necessary of %XTAB card present
LINE 5 VELO(1:NG) Neutron velocity Not necessary of %XTAB card present
