Abstract
The accelerator driven systems (ADS) have a harder spectrum than fast reactor, and will play a more important role in waste transmutation. The structure of the ADS is more comprehensive than other traditional reactors, thus it is necessary to do the preliminary economic study of ADS. This paper calculates and compares the LCOE of once-through, PWR-SFR cycle and PWR-ADS cycle. It turned out that ADS does not have economic advantage in producing electricity compared with PWR and SFR, but it produces significantly less HLW than PWR and SFR for same amount of electricity. If the MA is paid more than $80557/kgHM, ADS can compete with the PWR in our study.
