New Control System of VR-1 Training Reactor
Volume 2: Nuclear Policy; Nuclear Safety, Security, and Cyber Security; Operating Plant Experience; Probabilistic Risk Assessments; SMR and Advanced Reactors, 2020 Abstract The VR-1 training reactor with 500W maximum power operates at the Czech Technical University in Prague. Its control system was approaching obsolescence. It was therefore decided to upgrade the control system using up-to-date hardware and software using a new industrial PC with Windows 10 and the RTX real time system. The control

Neutron field for activation experiments in horizontal channel of training reactor VR-1
Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 2014 Abstract The experimental channels of nuclear reactors often serve for nuclear data measurement and validation. The dosimetry-foils activation technique was employed to measure neutron field parameters in the horizontal radial channel of the training reactor VR-1, and to test the possibility of using the reactor for scientific purposes.

Rod drop transient at VR-1 reactor – Experiment and Serpent transient calculation analysis
Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2020 Abstract The rod drop experiment is an important transient in reactor operation. This study focuses on a comparison between experimental reactor physics data and respective calculation. The rod drop experiment was performed at the VR-1 reactor. A full core 3D model was used to calculate this transient using Serpent2.
