Description
Summary:A comprehensive γ-spectrometric investigation of fuel assemblies in an IRT core was performed. The objective was to obtain experimental information on the contribution of individual fuel assemblies to the total energy production and the relative fuel burnup and to compare the results with the computed prediction obtained with the TIGR program. Measurements of the relative burnup and energy production (in the last 4 months) of individual fuel assemblies in the IRT core were performed. The error in the obtained data is 2-3%, which permits using them as tests for calculations. It was established that the accuracy of the calculations of the relative contribution of a fuel assembly to the energy production and burnup, performed using the TIGR program, is satisfactory, 5 figures, 3 tables, 4 references.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
