Objective
Transmutation is considered a promising and feasible technology worldwide for significantly reducing the amount, and thereby, the long-term radiotoxicity of highly radioactive waste. Transmutation can be done in an Accelerator Driven System (ADS). A key component of such an ADS is the high neutron flux spallation target with the heavy liquid metal Pb or Pb-Bi as spallation material and as coolant. Such a component has never been built and operated before. The proposed operation of the MEGAPIE Pilot Experiment in 2004 is a first decisive step to realize a liquid metal spallation target. The outcome of this innovative activity is: Development and comprehensive testing of a liquid metal spallation target under beam-off condition, set up of a handbook on design of neutron spallation sources in general, planning of the MEGAPIE phases irradiation experiment, PIE and decommissioning.
