Gamma-ray pulses are calculated from 2D numerical simulations of upward atmospheric discharge in a self-consistent electric field using the multigroup approach to the kinetics of relativistic runaway electrons. Thecalculated numbers and spectra of gamma-rays are consistent with the data on terrestrial gamma-ray flashes observed aboard spacecraft. The calculated runaway electron flux is concentrated mainly within the domain of the blue jet fluorescence. This proves that exactly this domain is a source of the gamma-ray flashes. One gamma-ray flash generates similar to 10(14)-10(15) photonuclear neutrons.
