Neutron production evaluation from a ADS target utilizing the MCNPX 2.6.0 code [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Physics, 2010 Accelerators Driven Systems (ADS) are an innovative type of nuclear system, which is useful for long-lived fission product transmutation and fuel regeneration. The ADS consist of a coupling of a sub-critical nuclear core reactor and a proton beam produced by particle accelerator. These particles are injected into a target for the neutrons production by
