Abstract

The results of a study of neutron and gamma field functionals derived by deterministic Sn and Monte Carlo calculation methods and by neutron activation measurements in application to the ex-vessel cavity of the VVER-440 reactor Greifswald-1 are presented. A good agreement of deterministic and stochastic calculation results with each other as well as with measurement results was found for neutron threshold detector reaction rates at ex-vessel positions. The influence of different numbers of crosssectional groups on the calculation results is demonstrated.

Keywords:
VVER, neutron-gamma transport calculation, ex-vessel activation measurements
