Karazin Kharkov National University, Kharkov 3 National Scientific Center, Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology, Kharkov For the calculation of the radiation field around the ventilated cask for dry spent nuclear fuel storage of Zaporozhye NPP the methods were modified that based on the use of Monte Carlo packages MODEASHE-M and MCNPX. For time expenses decreasing the special methods of diminishing of dispersion were used: method of translations of trajectories of quanta and exponential transformation in MODEASHE-M code; the «geometrical spallation» ( geometry splitting ) in MCNPX code. For ventilated cask VSC spectra have been obtained and angular distributions of radiation out of cask and also the change of parameters of radiation depending on time keeping and dependence of dose rate on the distance to the surface of VSC. It was shown that characteristics of VSC radiation are dependent on the fuel assemblies located on the perimeter of basket of cask. Comparison of the calculated distributions of dose power along the surface of VSC with their measured values shows the excess approximately at 1.4 times. KEY WORDS: irradiated nuclear fuel, spent fuel storage, gamma-ray spectrum, concrete ventilated cask, spent fuel assemblies
