摘要:To reduce the storage time of spent fuel its radiotoxicity must be reduced through the transmutation of minoractinides. Generation IV reactors or sub-critical Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) are options that appeartechnically feasible in view of the transmutation goal. The purpose of this work is to design a lead-cooled400 MWth sub-critical reactor which uses inert matrix nitride fuel. Many design issues are dealt with, such asthe lifetime of the cladding material, the minimum reactivity swing fuel composition, the burning rates of MAand the safety coecients. The results obtained show that ADS performs well in transmuting minor actinidesand has good safety levels in respect of reactivity perturbations.
