The fast-neutron and photon space–energy distributions have been measured in an axially (1.25 m active height) and azimuthally (60° symmetry sector) shortened model of the WWER-1000 reactor assembled in the LR-0 experimental reactor. The space–energy distributions have been calculated with the stochastic code MCNP and the deterministic three-dimensional code TORT. Selected results are presented and discussed in the paper. This work has been done in the frame of the EU 5th FW project REDOS REDOS, Reactor Dosimetry: Accurate determination and benchmarking of radiation field parameters, relevant for reactor pressure vessel monitoring. EURATOM Programme, Call 2000/C 294/04). All geometry and material composition data of the model as well as the available experimental data were carefully checked and revised.
