%FTEM Card

This card is used to input fuel temperature parameters.

%FTEM Variable Description Remarks
LINE 1 CFTEM Uniform distribution of the fuel temperature in Kelvin Used as guess if %THER card active
  RFTEM Fuel temperature reference in Kelvin from which the interpolation is done Dummy if %XTAB card is active
LINE 2 FISGTR(g) Macroscopic Cross Section changes due to changes of fuel temperature in Kelvin Repeat LINE 2 NG times. And again repeat this input segment NMAT times. This line is not necessary if %XTAB card present
  FSIGA(g)    
  FNUF(g)    
  FSIGF(g)    
  FSIGS(g,1:NG)    
LINE 3 POPT Print option if users want to print this card Optional

Example:
