Popis: The results of experimental studies of the integral and spatial transient xenon processes in the No. 6 unit of the Novovoronezh NPP with VVER-1200 are presented. An unconventional method of measurement was tested in the study of integral processes: the course of the xenon process was recorded as the change in the critical concentration of boric acid in the reactor simultaneously with a calculation of the concentration in real-time. The spatial transient processes were studied for the example of axial and diametral free xenon oscillations of energy release in the core.
