“…The application of an accelerated ion beam as an external source in combination with a subcritical reactor, the so called Accelerator Driven System, is at present considered as a possible power source. A series of studies devoted to the optimization of the beam species and energies for ADS power production has been performed [9,10]. It was shown that light ion beams are more efficient than proton beams with an energy of about 1 GeV.…”

The new concept of light nuclear beams instead of proton beams for ADS is substantiated. The influence of the target structure on the energy efficiency of 0.5-4 GeV proton beams and 0.25 – 0.5 AGeV light ion beams is studied. The target consists of rods with different composition (metal, oxide, carbide) and different levels of enrichment in order to implement the target with a criticality coefficient of 0.96 -0.97, which ensures safe operation. The cooling with different metals (lead, lead-bismuth eutectic - LBE, and sodium) is compared. The use of converters from very light materials (lithium, beryllium, carbon) and their influence on the neutron spectrum and energy released are analysed.

This paper is devoted to the analysis of heat transfer, hydrodynamic and acoustic processes induced by high-energy particles irradiating the big uranium target “BURAN”. The generation of heat and acoustic waves by relativistic ion beams is studied numerically. Energy transfer between irradiated target and ambient atmosphere was analyzed with different models. The study provides a basis for development of the new acoustic method for analysis of ion beam energy deposition and its further redistribution in the bulk of a target.
