In this research, new software package for neutronic calculations, especially kinetic parameters of PWR reactors, has been developed. The program used to link the WIMS-D5, BORGES and CITVAP nuclear codes has been written in Visual C# programming language. This software was used for calculation of kinetic parameters of WER-1000 and NOK Beznau reactors. The ratios (βeff)i/(βeff)core of parameters, which are an important input data for the reactivity accident analysis, were also calculated. The results were compared with final safety analysis report (FSAR) and published documents.
