| | 7 | The pool-type nuclear reactor of the Budapest University of Technology is in operation since 1971. The core is built of EK-10 fuel assemblies with 10% enrichment. The maximum thermal power is 100 kW, the maximum thermal neutron flux is 2.7•10^12^ n/cm^2^s. The main purpose of the facility is to support education in nuclear engineering and physics; however, extensive research work is carried out as well. Neutron and gamma irradiation can be performed using 20 vertical irradiation channels, 5 horizontal beam tubes, two pneumatic rabbit systems and a large irradiation tunnel. The facility has physical and radiochemical laboratories and a hot cell too. |

| | 9 | The geometry model was input to Guardyan and a neutron transport calculation was initiated from a homogeneously distributed neutron source usng 10^26^ neutrons. Fig. 1 shows the photograph of the core in operation, the model geometry and a snapshot of the neutron population. On the geometry model figure the light blue indicates the position of the fuel pins, light green stands for water and dark blue is for the reflector. |
