The knowledge gained during the project on neutron calculations for JET was transferred also to fission reactors, in which course several members of the project team have participated in the start-up physics tests in the Nuclear Power Plant Krško in November 2013. The project leader have been also the Head to the JSI team for these zero power physics tests in NEK. After each outage in the Krško NPP it is necessary, in accordance with the requirements of the SNSA, to perform the testing of the reactor on zero power before the increase of its power. In doing so, the responses to the insertion of the reactor control assemblies, temperature changes and the concentration of boric acid in the coolant are compared with the previously calculated values. A group of experts from the Jožef Stefan Institute performed the said test in November 2013, which was performed successfully and thus the permission for the operation for the next cycle could be obtained.
