A nuclear reactor is a complex engineering and technical installation that generates radiation. Because of this, the experimental measurement of the radiation characteristics of a nuclear reactor is a difficult task, and in some cases technically impossible. The modern development of calculation codes and tools makes it possible to determine the radiation characteristics of a nuclear reactor with sufficient accuracy and reliability. Due to this, computational modeling of physical processes occurring in a nuclear reactor has become one of the main scientific research methods. The WWRK reactor is a multi-purpose research reactor with a large number of vertical and horizontal irradiation positions used for a wide range of scientific and applied problems. The irradiation position with the largest dimensions in the WWR-K reactor is the niche of experimental devices, which makes it possible to irradiate objects up to 1000 mm in diameter. This position is considered as a candidate for neutron transmutation doping of silicon ingots with a diameter of more than 200 mm. The article presents the radiation characteristics for the current and modernized configuration of the niche of the experimental devices of the WWR-K reactor. It is shown that the upgrade of the configuration leads to an improvement in the neutron characteristics in the irradiated position.
