Numerical modelling is an important tool for estimation of the radioactive waste generation at the nuclear energy sites. In this work we have applied a Monte Carlo code, MCNPX version 2.6 for calculation of activation of the graphite stack in the RBMK-1500 reactor. The simplified 3D model of the RBMK-1500 reactor core fragment with 14 fuel assemblies and 2 control rods distributed according to the real RBMK-1500 reactor core geometry has been created.
