Calculation of the Neutron Parameters for Accelerator‐Driven Subcritical Reactors
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 In this paper, the accelerator‐driven subcritical reactor (ADSR) is simulated based on structure of the TRIGA‐Mark II reactor. A proton beam is accelerated and interacts on the lead target. Two cases of using lead are considered here: firstly, solid lead is referred to as spallation neutron target and water as the coolant; secondly, molten lead is ...
