Almost all experimental studies of the characteristics of nuclear-excited plasma formed by excitation of gaseous media with nuclear reactions products are conducted at pulsed nuclear reactors that differ in the composition and design of the core, the duration, flux and fluence of the neutron pulse, the impulse repetition frequency, the volume and configuration of the irradiation space. This paper presents a description of the experimental (methodical and hardware) base of the National Nuclear Center of RK (Kurchatov) to conduct experiments on studying the threshold characteristics of laser action at the p-s-transition of noble gas atoms upon 6Li(n,α)3H nuclear reaction products excitation in conditions of a pulsed nuclear IGR reactor. To conduct in-pile reactor experiments, a special experimental facility was developed and constructed. The experimental facility functionally includes: in-pile experimental device, a gas–vacuum system, information and measurement system consisting of a system for registering and controlling the temperature of the device housing, and a system for registering optical radiation. The paper also briefly describes the methodology of in-pile reactor experiments on the pulsed nuclear reactor.
