Physics design of an accelerator for an accelerator-driven subcritical system

Study on Neutronics Design of an Accelerator Driven Subcritical Reactor

Thorium fueled Accelerator Driven Subcritical Reactors have been proposed as a more comprehensive alternative to conventional nuclear reactors for both energy production and for burning radioactive waste. Several new classes have been added by the authors to the GEANT4 simulation code, an extension which allows the state-of-the-art code to be used for the first time for nuclear reactor critical...

Neutron Spallation Studies for an Accelerator Driven Subcritical Reactor

Nuclear power production can benefit from the development of more comprehensive alternatives for dealing with long-term radioactive waste. One such alternative is an accelerator-driven subcritical reactor (ADSR) which has been proposed for both energy production and for burning radioactive waste. Here we investigate the effects of the size of the ADSR spallation target on the total neutron yiel...
