“…The neutron spec trum obtained in these systems, as a rule, is analyzed based on the simulation of well studied spectra of common reactors with the help of specialized codes (MCNPX). For increasing the average energy of sec ondary neutron spectrum, as well as the energy ampli fication factor of a subcritical reactor, it is proposed to apply both light targets [3] and higher energy (up to 10 GeV) beams and natural uranium as an active core of the target [4,5].…”

Inelastic hadronic interactions in heavy targets have been simulated using Geant4 and compared with experimental data for thin and thick lead and uranium targets. Special attention is paid to neutron and fission fragment production. Good agreement in the description of proton beam interaction with thick tar gets is demonstrated, which is important for the simulation of experiments aimed at the development of sub critical reactors.

Experimental values of high energy neutron flux by application Yttrium-89 foils in QUINTA assembly, using 2, 4 and 8 GeV deuteron beams (Fig. 1) from the JINR Nuclotron (2012 E+T -RAW experiments) are presented. Evaluation of average high energy neutron fluxes for three energy ranges (11,5-20.8, 20,8-32.7, 32,7-100 MeV) using the determined three isotopes production of 88 Y 87 Y and 86 Y [1] are performed. The (n,xn) reaction rates of yttrium samples located inside the assembly were determined through gamma spectrometry. We stared to check values of cross section data for Y-89 neutron reactions (n,xn) experimentally.

“…The spallation target QUINTA was irradiated at the Nuclotron accelerator by proton, deuteron and carbon particle by different energies and at the Phasotron accelerator, which accelerate protons at energy 660 MeV. Several experiments performed at the QUINTA target are described in following publications [6,7,8,9].…”

The research on Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) has more than 20 year's tradition at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. Since 2010, the most experiments have been performed with a spallation target composed of 512 kg of natural uranium. This target called QUINTA was irradiated with proton and deuteron beams of high energies. Currently, final preparations of a new spallation target BURAN consisting of 21 tons of depleted uranium are under way. The main tasks of the project are experimental investigation of neutron production inside the spallation target, possibility of natural thorium utilization and transmutation of the minor actinides and long-lived fission products. The supplementary field of interest is a measurement of nuclear data and verification of nuclear codes and theoretical models related to the ADS technologies.4th Workshop on ADS and thorium
