Abstract
A methodology for evaluation and control of the incineration of Long-Lived Fission Products (LLFPs) by using the accelerator neutrons/γ-rays is presented. An arbitrary number of the auxiliary transmutation chains, each of which consists of a LLFP and its reaction precursc)rs up to 144, are used for calculating the time-dependent depletionproduction of the LLFP.In the energy range below 20 MeV, about 20 types of neutron reaction are energetically possible. The semi-empirical formulas and its parameter systematics are used for all the energy dependent reaction cross sections. A computer code TRANS-N,G based on the foregoing prescription for nuclear reactions could be applied to the LLFP incineration strategies under a large variety of situations.
