This paper describes the design and use of a new irradiation facility for the LVR-15 nuclear research reactor. The CHOUCA MT irradiation rig was produced in France according to a design of the ÚJV Group (ÚJV Řež and Research Center Řež). There are six heating sections situated along the rig, each instrumented and controlled by its own thermocouple. The rig’s insulation layers ensure a balanced temperature in irradiated specimens along its entire length. The specimen holder is 55.9 mm in diameter and 320 mm long. The CHOUCA MT rig can be repetitively irradiated in different positions within the reactor core, depending on irradiation condition requirements. The CHOUCA MT rig expands the possibilities of radiation research in the ÚJV Group.
