Summary:During the commercial production of 60 Co at the Leningradskaya nuclear power plant by irradiation of 59 Co in special facilities loaded into a RBMK core, computational means are used to determining the cobalt activity in the irradiation facilities and to decide whether or not they should be extracted. The computational results of the cobalt activity as compared with the experimental data and the effect of refinements in the computational model on them are presented.
