“…The added actinide materials are the same as the initial actinide materials in the LBE fuel carrier. The amount of feeding materials, neutron absorbers, or actinide materials was calculated so that the keff value of the fission blanket after the feeding process returns to the initial value of ~0.98 [21]:…”

“…To perform fuel burnup analysis of the ADS conceptual configurations, both the criticality transport equation and the fixed source transport equation need to be solved. Therefore, other Monte Carlo codes, MCB5 and SERPENT with such capabilities were used to perform the fuel burnup analyses for the different configurations [21]. The external neutron source files generated from MCNPX/MCNP6 are used for the MCB5 and the SERPENT burnup analyses.…”

The current United States inventory of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is ~80,000 metric tons of heavy metal (MTHM), including ~131 tons of minor actinides (MAs) and ~669 tons of plutonium. This study describes a conceptual design of an accelerator-driven subcritical (ADS) system for disposing of this SNF inventory by utilizing the 131 tons of MAs inventory and a fraction of the plutonium inventory for energy production, and transmuting some long-lived fission products.
