High-temperature processing apparatuses, “metallization” electrolyzer, refinery remelting apparatus, refining electrolyzer, and “soft” chlorination apparatus are considered in this work. Computational models of apparatuses for two neutron radiation transport codes (MCU-FR and MCNP) were developed and calculations for criticality were completed using the Monte Carlo method. The criticality analysis was performed for different loads of fissile material into the apparatuses including overloading conditions.
