The European Lead-Cooled EFIT Plant: An Industrial-Scale Accelerator-Driven System for Minor Actinide Transmutation—I

Research and Comparison of Solid Spallation Targets in Accelerator Driven System(ADS)

“…It can be found that the neutron transmutation method can not only reduce the amount and radioactivity of nuclear waste rapidly, but also improve the fuel efficiency. [1][2][3][4][5][6] …”

Preliminary studies of a new accelerator-driven minor actinide burner in industrial scale

“…The coolant outlet temperature is searched to ensure that the maximum coolant velocity during the operational cycle is less than 2.0 m/s to limit the erosion effects (Mansani et al, 2012;Sarotto et al, 2013;Mukaiyama et al, 2001;Song et al, 2007). The coolant outlet temperature is almost proportional to the thermal power as shown in Table 4.…”

Study of an intrinsically safe infrastructure for training and research on nuclear technologies

“…in the MW range) and liquid lead cooling. The proposed facility may be therefore seen as an intermediate step between the existing Guinevère apparatus [17] and the future MYRRHA [18 and EFIT [19].…”

“…Therefore also in ADS design, lead technology is present in several projects: PDS-XADS [13], IP-EUROTRANS [14][15][16], Guinevere [17], MYHHRA [18] and EFIT [19]. The Guinevere setup at SCK · CEN in Mol, Belgium [17], based on a D+T accelerator providing nearly monochromatic 14 MeV neutrons embedded in a solid Lead matrix started operations in 2011.…”
