Abstract

The paper presents an approach to the computational and experimental determination of the energy release from the absorption of gamma radiation in various materials in the experimental channels of the IR-8 research reactor. The main parameters of irradiation are determined during the computational support of experiments, including the energy release due to the absorption of gamma radiation in samples and structural elements of irradiation facilities. The obtained values are used to preliminarily determine the irradiation temperature regime of samples, as well as to confirm the required irradiation conditions. To check the parameters of irradiation of samples obtained by calculation, a series of calorimetric experiments was carried out for determination of gamma heating in the experimental channels of the core and reflector of the IR-8 reactor.
