Transmutations of Long‐Lived and Medium‐Lived Fission Products Extracted from CANDU and PWR Spent Fuels in an Accelerator‐Driven System

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
This study presents the time‐dependent analyses of transmutations of long‐lived fission products (LLFPs) and medium‐lived fission products (MLFPs) occurring in thermal reactors in a conceptual helium gas‐cooled accelerator‐driven system (ADS). In accordance with this purpose, the CANDU‐37 and PWR 15 × 15 spent fuels are separately considered.
