Abstract: Since 2010 the LVR-15 reactor has been gradually converted from highly enriched fuel (36wt% 235U) to low enriched fuel with the enrichment of 19.75wt% 235U. Paper presents influence of the core pattern changes on the neutron characteristics of the epithermal beam. The determination of neutron spectrum free in the beam was done with a set of neutron activation monitors. After the reactor conversion the change in neutron spectrum is not provable as differences are in the range of measurement errors.
