Abstract
Chapter 1 contains introductory information about the heat release in the reactor core, the thermal power and thermal power density in the fuel, structures and moderator, the influence of the thermal power density on the coolant temperature, and the spatial distribution of the thermal power density. Finally, some measures are introduced for equalizing of the spatial distribution of the thermal power density.
