In order to validate Monte Carlo calculations for coupled neutron/gamma problems in reactor dosimetry an experimental benchmark programme at two low power reactors was started to measure both, neutron and gamma flux spectra behind and inside of transmission modules consisting of variable iron and water slabs. The comparison of the first series of experiments with MCNP calculations is presented.
