Abstract
  
The paper is devoted to current status of the integral  code COMPLEX development. Code COMPLEX is intended to nuclear and radiation  safety of the fast neutron reactor facilities and fuel cycle objects, means of  transportation and nuclear fuel storages justification. The paper provides a  functional scheme of the integral code operation and a brief description of the  DOLCE VITA, CORNER, BPSD, 
  RASTAS_M, ODETTA and MCU-FR modules included in COMPLEX, in particular a  description of the implemented models and used data. The appearance and capabilities of the  graphical shell named COMPLEX-GUI code are presented, by which the organization  of calculation scenarios is demonstrated. Calculation scenario, in this sense,  is the sequence of the calling modules included in the integral code and data  transferred in the chain of modules involved in the task. A list of possible  calculation scenarios is presented. On the example of calculating a simple  experimental configuration the capabilities of 3D editor, pre- and  post-processor are demonstrated. The progress of the COMPLEX code attestation,  the status of its modules attestation and the plans for its further development  from the side of both the functionality of the modules expansion and the  capabilities of the pre- and postprocessor expansion, including a 3D editor and  mesh builder, are presented. It is also planned to expand the scope of tasks to be  solved.
