Abstract

Leningrad NPP commercially produces Cobalt-60 in special assemblies inserted in RBMK-reactor core. Calculation tools are used to determine cobalt activity and make decision on its timely extraction from the reactor. The paper describes results of cobalt activity calculation as compared to measurements, and influence of improved calculation model on the calculation results.
