3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

Program for calculating in cylindrical geometry flux and power distributions and burn-up of fuel elements in TRIGA reactors, taking into account temperature and xenon corrections. Temperature correction can be either linear, which is applicable for forced cooling, or of second order, which is used for natural convection.
