Abstract
A criticality analysis of two spent fuel storage pools for Etrr_1 and Etrr_ 2 research reactors was performed. The multiplication factor for the pools was calculated as a function of relevant lattice physics parameters. Monte Carlo code MCNP-4A code was used in the criticality calculations. The resul ts were compared with those given by CITATION code and the results obtained formerly during the design phase of the pools [9] with the MONK 6.3 code. Safety of the pools was confirmed.
