Abstract
Gamma-dose analysis was performed on an absolute-value basis at the zero-power plutonium reactor (ZPPR)-13B/4 critical assembly, which was one of the benchmark radially heterogeneous 650-MW (electric) liquid-metal reactor cores, to validate the current data and methods applicable to power reactor design calculations. Discussions of particular aspects inherent to the critical measurements, such as heterogeneity in the ZPPR plate cells and delayed fission product gamma effect, are included. The results show that the gamma-energy deposition distribution was reproduced within an accuracy of {approximately} 10% in cores that had complicated fuel and internal blanket layouts.
