1. Introduction The management of the high-level radioactive wastes (HLW) is one of the important key issues in nuclear society at present. Various concepts for transmuting long-lived radioactive nuclides contained in HLW to shorter-lived or stable nuclides have been proposed to reduce the risk from long-term toxicity. Reactors with a hard neutron spectrum have capability to burn minor actinides (MA) such as neptunium, americium and curium which dominate the long-term toxicity of spent fuels. Recycling the all actinides and some long-lived FPs into fast breeder reactor (FBR) and the accelerator driven system (ADS) to close the fuel cycle from a view point of actinide confinement is, therefore, one of the promising options to be considered in solving the problem. A new concept of nitride fuel cycle system based on pyrochemical reprocessing has been proposed, and excellent core performance of the lead cooled nitride FBR could provide design flexibility of reactor systems for energy production and/or reactors for burning or transmuting long-lived radioactive nuclides [1,2]. For utilising the nitride fuel, the effect of 15 N enrichment on nuclear characteristics and the evaluation of toxicity of 14 C generated from 14 N was appeared, and excellent performance for the minor actinide (MA) transmutation was shown [3]. Furthermore, the current status for the liquid heavy metal Pb-Bi technologies were investigated [4]. The symbiosis concept of the fuel cycle system based on nitride fuelled fast reactors consists of base load reactors. The base load reactor produces electric power and extra plutonium fuel if needed, and the MA (about 1 wt%) generated by themselves are recycled [2]. The MA transmuter designed in the present study has simultaneously a role of incineration for Pu, MA and 129 I generated from UO 2 and MOX fuelled LWRs, and FBRs systems. A part of the recovered Pu and minor actinides by pyrochemical reprocessing are recycled into the ADS transmuters to adjust to the excess or remained plutonium and to transmute the MA and iodine. Furthermore, accumulation and transmutation of MA and 129 I based on future symbiosis recycle system are investigated for introducing the accelerator driven system (ADS) with 800 MWt. It is shown that in the scenario of nuclear plant capacities for maximum 140 GWe, which consists of LWRs and FBRs, the introduction of ADS can play a significant role as “Transmuter” in the back-end of fuel cycle. A conceptual design study based on the experimental program for development and demonstration of accelerator driven transmutation technology under the project plan of the High Intensity Proton Accelerator and the OMEGA Programme at JAERI has been done. And the current activities of the design studies for the experimental facilities for ADS technology demonstration are reviewed. 2. Design study of ADS Transmutation of MA and iodine was studied by using a lead-bismuth cooled ADS with 800 MWt. MA (Am, Cm and 237 Np) are most dominant contributors for long-term potential hazard in spent fuel. On the other hand, long-lived fission product nuclide 129 I will be recovered as AgI formation in reprocessing system for spent fuels. And the iodine is soluble in water and one of the most troublesome nuclide on the geological disposal technology, though its potential hazard is smaller than those of MA Thus transmutation for this nuclide is strongly expected as one of troublesome isotopes from a viewpoint of waste disposal. The iodines are loaded axially and radially with the form of NaI around the MA-fule core in ADS, and it was shown that an ADS can transmute the MA and iodines generated from 9 or 10 units of LWR with 33 GWd/t per year as shown in Table 1. The conceptual design of the ADS is shown in Figure 1. 534
Proton beam-trip analysis: In an ADS, a beam trip causes a abrupt drop of core thermal power very similar to the case of a scram in a critical reactor. The beam trips would be much more frequent than reactor scrams. The main source of beam trips occurring at the existing accelerator facilities is failure of RF system. Majority of the beam trips is of short duration, say within few minutes, and the beam recovers from them automatically. For this reason, the ADS has to maintain full flow performance until a recovery of beam power. Figure 1.

The lead-bismuth primary system and the secondary water/steam system were modeled with a simple one-dimensional flow network. 535
