ABSTRACT
The present paper shortly describes advances of
the RERTR program in the Czech Republic. The minimum core configuration B2 with
9 fuel elements IRT-3M and Beryllium reflector was performed on the training
reactor VR-1 Sparrow. The paper presents results of reactor calculations and
experimental measurements on the core configuration B2, their evaluation as
well as the operation experiences with the Russian fuel assemblies IRT-3M on
the reactor VR-1.
