Ideas about building a accelerator driven system (ADS) no target and uses thorium as a nuclear fuel

Thu Dau Mot University

Introducing the idea of using liquid lead which makes not only coolant but also target. So the target will not need to be replaced during nuclear reactor operation. The entire volume of liquid lead on the path of the incident proton beam in the ADSR (Accelerator Driven Subcritical Reactor) will be interactive target; therefore, the number of neutrons generated will increase in comparison with using conventional target. Providing preliminary calculations illustrating the above ideas.; discuss the possibility of using thorium as a nuclear fuel. Partly ideas were published in the article "Ability to make Accelerator-driven sub-critical reactor system (ADS) without target in (p, n) interaction - International Journal of Modern Physics and Application (2015)."
