Accelerator driven neutron sources with high brilliance neutron provision present an attractive alternative to classical neutron sources of fission reactors and spallation sources to provide neutrons for science and indsutry. With the availability of high current proton accelerator systems, a novel class of such neutron facilities can be established termed High-Current Accelerator-driven...
Neutron sources are the important experimental platform for the R&D of advanced nuclear energy systems, especially for the development for fusion systems. Series High Intensity Steady Neutron Sources (HINEG), comprising three phases(HINEG-I, HINEG-II, and HINEG-III), have been developed in China for different missions including neutronics design validation, materials & components irradiation...
MYRRHA is the first Accelerator Driven System (ADS) to be built, consisting of a subcritical nuclear reactor driven by a high power linear accelerator, for the demonstration of transmutation of nuclear waste at pre-industrial scale. With the subcritical concentration of fission material, the nuclear reaction is sustained by the particle accelerator only.
The MYRRHA design for an ADS is based...
For advanced shielding design of high energy electron accelerators such as ILC, accuracy of nuclear model and data base used in the theoretical simulations should be validated with the experimental data. For this purpose, shielding experiment of secondary neutrons and muons generated from the beam dump was performed using 2.2, 4.3, 6.4 and 8.45 GeV electron beams at JLAB. The beam dump...
