Abstract
The ADS-burner of minor actinides (MA) is considered of the following assumptions: • Proton accelerator — driver has energy E a =1 GeV and current I a =10 mA; • Subcriticality is Δk = 0.05 ( k eff =0.95); • Reactor consists of two cores: core-1 of cascade amplification (CA) and core-2 of transmutation (CT); • Molten salt NaF-ZrF 4 is used as a coolant and the nuclear fuel solvent in CT. Technical solutions are chosen close to used in reactor technology. The main neutron physics characteristics of reactor are calculated including reactor power distribution, reactivity effects, MA burnup, thermo-hydraulics of CA fuel elements etc.Such CSMSR with power 800 MWth can incinerate ∼50 kg MA/year, i.e. the MA production of five thermal reactors of the same power.
