Abstract: In this study a brief description of the polynomial interpolation of few-group constants on sparse grids for VVER-1000 reactor is adduced. The calculations about various burnup instances were made for the method. Besides, comparative analysis of the irregularity factor of kv è kq calculation was made with the help of the preparation of constants by using this method while arranging by different software products.

Keywords: in-core monitoring system, HELIOS, VVER-1000, cross-section, power distribution, computer codes.
