MOIA01 | Utilization of Accelerators for Transmutation and Energy Production | 1 |
|
||
Given the increased concern over reliable, emission-free power, nuclear power has experienced a resurgence of interest. A sub-critical accelerator driven system (ADS) can drive systems that have either safety constraints (waste transmutation) or reduced fissile content (thorium reactor). The goals of an ADS are some or all of the following: 1) to significantly reduce the generation or impacts due to the minor actinides on the packing density and long-term radiotoxicity in the repository design, 2) preserve/use the energy-rich component of used nuclear fuel, and 3) reduce proliferation risk. ADS systems have been actively studied in Europe and Asia over the past two decades and renewed interest is occurring in the U.S. This talk will cover some of the history, possible applicable fuel cycle scenarios, and general issues to be considered in implementing ADS systems. |

MOIA02 | Overview of High Intensity Accelerator Projects | 6 |
|
||
This review will cover in the time available as many as possible of the high intensity hadron accelerator projects worldwide. The range will be from spallation neutron sources to machines for neutrino physics and will include existing and proposed accelerators. The aim will be to explore parameter ranges, identify areas of commonality and highlight how experience in one project can be used to help solve challenges in others. |
