AbstractAbstract
[en] The surveillance neutron exposure monitoring system In VVER-440, V 213 series, consists of 54Fe(n,p), 63Cu(n,α and 93Nb(n,n) detectors. The Fe detector is loaded for one year Cone fuel cycle) Irradiation only. The evaluation of the neutron monitor results including transformation to the critical locations of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) can be based on the direct estimations of the neutron spectra and led factors (and other important space energy indices) in the mock-up experiments carried out. in the LR-0 experimental reactor, N.R.I. Rez. Because of high acceleration factor (about 11 for neutrons with energy above 0.5 MeV) the specimens are pulled out within five years of VVER-440 operation. After that the ex-vessel monitoring should be applied for RPV exposure determination. A recommended procedure (guide) for the RPV neutron exposure evaluation has been completed recently. All previous experimental data (the surveillance and ex-vessel monitors, I.R-0 mock-up measurements) have been revised arid reevaluated using the IRDF-90 (IAEA) cross section data. A brief review of this work is presented in the paper. Some comments relating to the RPV dosimetry of VVER-440, series 230, and VVER-1000 reactors are also done. (author)
