    Sammanfattning : Accelerator-driven systems for transmutation of nuclear waste have been suggested as a means for dealing with spent fuel components that pose potential radiological hazard for long periods of time. While not entirely removing the need for underground waste repositories, this nuclear waste incineration technology provides a viable method for reducing both waste volumes and storage times.

  4. 3. Cavity Field Control for High-Intensity Linear Proton Accelerators

    Författare :Olof Troeng; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Particle Acceleration; Automatic Control; European Spallation Source;

    Sammanfattning : The European Spallation Source will, once fully operational in 2025, be the world's brightest neutron source. The neutrons will be generated by bombarding a tungsten target with protons accelerated to 96\% the speed of light by electromagnetic fields confined in 155 radio-frequency cavities along the world's most powerful linear accelerator.

  5. 4. Source efficiency and high-energy neutronics in accelerator-driven systems

    Författare :Per Seltborg; Waclaw Gudowski; Enrique González-Romero; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atomic physics; Atomfysik;

    Sammanfattning : Transmutation of plutonium and minor actinides in accelerator-driven systems (ADS) is being envisaged for the purpose of reducing the long-term radiotoxic inventory of spent nuclear reactor fuel. For this reason, the physics of sub-critical systems are being studied in several different experimental programs across the world. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Accelerator-driven systems : source efficiency and reacitvity determination

    Författare :Andrei Fokau; Jan Wallenius; Viktor Tikhomirov; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik;

    Sammanfattning : Accelerator-driven systems (ADS) are being investigated and designed for transmutation of the long-lived nuclear waste. Application of ADS allows to safely transmute large fractions of minor actinides (MA) per reactor core, while the fraction in critical reactors is limited to a few percent due to the safety constraints.
