Survey of codes relevant to design, engineering and simulation of transmutation of actinide by spallation. (The cost estimation of accelerator for incinerator and the problem of radiation hazard)

چکیده
The summary of the survey of codes relevant to design of transmutation of actinide by spallation is presented. The accelerator actinide incinerator has been studied by using the codes of nuclear cascade calculation including a high energy fission. The validity of the codes has been examined by comparing the experimental data of the yields of neutrons, and of spallation and fission products by a interaction of medium energy proton and thin and thick uranium targets. The cost of accelerator for incineration was estimated using the data obtained from studies of accelerator breeder and accelerator tritium producer. The problems of radiation hazard which are shielding, beam loss, and the other radioactivity, are discussed.
