The Subcritical Assembly in Dubna (SAD)—Part I: Coupling all major components of an Accelerator Driven System (ADS)

Steady-state neutronic analysis of converting the UK CONSORT reactor for ADS experiments

“…The overall power attainable in the experiment proposed here is less than that proposed for other experiments, for example at Dubna (Shvetsov et al (2006, but is still several orders of magnitude greater than that achieved to date. The combination of re-use of existing reactor 10 -10 10 -9 10 -8 10 -7 10 -6 10 -5 10 -4 10 -3 10 -2 10 -1 10 0 10 1 10 2 10 3 0.00 infrastructure and the use of a commercial cyclotron as proton driver reduces the complexity of delivering an experiment, and therefore should be significantly cheaper than other approaches.…”

Deterministic and Monte Carlo modeling and analyses of YALINA-THERMAL subcritical assembly.

“…Research programs for partitioning and transmuting nuclear waste by ADS are under development in Japan, [8][9][10][11] China, 12 Europe, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] and Russia. [32][33][34] In Europe, the MUSE program was carried out at the MASURCA facility in Cadarache, France. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The MASURCA facility consists of a fast subcritical reactor, loaded with MOX fuel and sodium, coupled with a deuteron accelerator, and it operated at low power of less than 5 kW.…”

Power upgrade of the subcritical assembly in Dubna (SAD) to 100kW

“…Simulation of various types of electronuclear systems and their components due to the preparation of the project SAD with MOX fuel is presented in Refs. [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
