Computational and experimental validation of the serviceability of zirconium channels in the reactor core according to strength criteria was conducted in order to ensure safe operation of the RBMK reactor facility under graphite stack deformation conditions. A complex of computational and experimental studies confirmed that the requirements of the operative federal norms and regulations for objects using nuclear power are met
