Preliminary design studies of an experimental accelerator-driven system

Obiettivo

The transmutation using an accelerator-driven system (ADS) is a promising solution for reducing the amount of radioactive wastes to be disposed. Its practicability on an industrial scale requires to operate an experimental ADS (XADS). It is proposed to perform preliminary design studies of an European XADS in order to preliminary assess its feasibility, the safety and licensing issues, the needs of R&D in support, its cost, and then to consolidate its road mapping. Several options have already been considered by European Union members, and judged to be promising. The purpose of the proposal is to develop these design options to a level sufficient to perform objective comparisons for being capable to propose a European XADs concept. The preliminary design studies will be focused on the critical points of the accelerator, the spallation target unit and the reactor of the XADS concepts.
