A Comprehensive Review of Developments of Accelerator Driven Subcritical Systems and Future Requirements

Abstract

Several aspects related to ADSS development such as present status, issues like interrupted beam supply, beam window or windowless system for Pb-Bi eutectic as target coolant, neutron activation and measurement of cross sections that are not available from any other source and development of radiation resistant materials are discussed in a comprehensive way. The text may help in identification of future studies related to the ADSS technology. Some of the results presented here may become basis of our future collaborative programs.
