The paper describes the methodology for the calculation of neutron fluence and energy release in WWER-1000 reactor cavity and baffle using the Monte Carlo MCNPX code. It formulates an approach to the simulation of a 3-D neutron source and conditions for the transport of neutrons and photons in the core. The research presents preliminary results of neutron fluence and energy release calculation in WWER-1000 reactor cavity and baffle.
