The PDQ series of programs is designed to solve the neutron diffusion-depletion problem in one, two or three dimensions. The three-dimensional spatial calculation may be either explicit or discontinuous trial function synthesis. Up to five lethargy groups are permitted. Adjoint, fixed source, one iteration, additive fixed source, eigenvalue, and boundary value calculations may be performed. The programs utilize the HARMONY system for time-dependent representation of cross section variation and generalized depletion chain solutions. The depletion is a combination gross block depletion for all nuclides as well as a fine block depletion for a specified subset of the nuclides. Geometries available include rectangular, cylindrical, spherical, hexagonal, and a very general quadrilateral geometry with diagonal interfaces. All allow variable mesh in all dimensions. Various control searches as well as temperature and xenon feedback are provided.
