TRIGA Vienna neutron source is being operated by Atominstitut (ATI), Austria. It achieved its initial criticality on 7th March 1962 when 57th Fuel Element (FE) was loaded to the core during the first critical experiment at ATI. The mandatory reactor start-up experiments were performed on the initial core configuration. The main objective of this research work is to develop 3D model of the TRIGA Mark II research reactor core using SuperMC computer code and its validation against the experimental results of initial core. This study uses the experimental values of first critical experiment and thermal neutron density distribution experiment of the reactor core. The SuperMC computer code is equipped with JEFF3.1 library and uses Monte Carlo techniques to simulate neutron, photon and their coupled transport, as well as, depletion and activation calculation. It integrates the function of automatic modeling and visualization.
