An approach to providing computational support for tests of TNPPs on prototype stands using software tools for the integrated modeling of neutronics and thermohydraulic processes is presented. The basic software systems and models developed on their basis for calculating per-fuel-rod characteristics of fuel assemblies in quasi-static (burnup calculation) and dynamic regimes, as well as for conducting computational experiments using uncertainty and sensitivity analysis method, are considered.
