Neutronics analysis of a source-driven subcritical system using G4-STORK

The investigations directed to plutonium and minor actinides transmutations for two-zone subcritical reactor is considered in present paper. The distributions of thermal and fast neutrons in the subcritical system were obtained. The distributions of fission and capture reaction rates for 237Np and 243Am were analyzed from viewpoint of minor actinides transmutation. The transmutation simulations for different distributions of pin targets were carried out within the scope of this paper. The obtained modeling results for different nuclear waste isotopes were analyzed and discussed.

Error Study

The proton accelerator of the China Initiative Accelerator Driven Subcritical System (CiADS) adopts the continuous wave (CW) and superconducting technical route, and it may accelerate 5 mA proton beam to 500 MeV in energy. In this paper, the baseline physics design of the superconducting section (SC) and some design choices are discussed, and the error study results are also presented.
