Abstract
A VVER-1000 reactor model using the Monte Carlo Serpent 2 code for core power distribution calculation is presented. The core and zones located near to the core were modeled in detail, without simplification. The assembly power distribution and axial power profiles were calculated for fresh core of the X2 VVER-1000 benchmark, namely the core of the KhNPP2 first loading for the hot zero power. The results were compared with the data obtained by specialists from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf.
