This paper describes the development of full-scale models of the BR-1200 reactor for the MCU-FR code with a homogeneous and heterogeneous description of fuel assemblies’ geometry. The correctness of the control rods efficiency calculation in a homogeneous model is analyzed. The control rods requiring heterogeneous modeling are defined.
