Abstract
RPV material degradation depends mainly on neutron flux and spectra. Both quantities can be calculated or measured. This paper compares MCNP calculations and measurements on zero-power experimental reactor LR-0 with TORT calculations for VVER-1000. The goal is to find a reasonable method for precise estimation of neutron fluence and attenuation factor through the RPV. The calculations were performed with MCNP stochastic code and TORT deterministic transport code. The measurements were performed in a VVER-1000 mock-up placed in reactor LR-0 (Research Center Åež).
