Transmutation potential

The ADS (accelerator driven system) is recognized as a promising system to annihilate the radioactivity of nuclear waste with its inherent safety feature and waste transmutation potential. Thus, conceptual designs of ADS are widely carrying out.

This presents the advantage of decoupling the management of the minor actinides from the conventional fuel and not impacting the core reactivity coefficients. In both cases, the design and analyses of potential transmutation systems have been carried out in the frame of Gen IV fast reactor using a “perturbation” approach in which nominal power reactor parameters are modified to accommodate the loading of minor actinides.
