1. Introduction The transmutation of most of the long-lived nuclear waste is a promising solution, which could play a substantial role in the safety of the fuel cycle. The maximisation of the transmutation of minor actinides is obtained with a fast neutron spectrum. Due to the neutronic characteristics, a core dedicated to the fission of the minor actinides would have to be operated in a sub-critical state and controlled by an external neutron source. The accelerator driven systems (ADS) allow this request. The feasibility of transmutation on an industrial scale, in the ADS has to be evaluated. On 1998, the Research Ministers of France, Italy and Spain have established a Technical Working Group (TWG) including R&D organisations and industrial companies in charge of reactor and accelerator studies, in order to identify the crucial technical issues for which R&D is needed. The recommendations of the TWG indicate the needs to design and operate an eXperimental ADS (XADS) facility at a sufficiently large scale to become the precursor of the industrial, practical-scale transmuter. Based on the recommendations of the TWG, the industrial companies, grouped in a European Industrial Partnership, have proposed preliminary concepts of the XADS. The candidate cooling media of a fast neutron sub-critical core are liquid metals and gas. Sodium is well known and the most validated among the cooling media for fast neutron reactors. The concepts using both lead or lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE), and gas need significant R&D activities. Preliminary design studies of these concepts will be performed in the frame of the Fifth European Framework Programme. These studies will be performed on a common basis in order to be capable to make a consistent comparison of the concepts. The purpose of the paper is to present the status of the design studies of the LBE- and gas-cooled concepts proposed respectively by Ansaldo and Framatome. 2. The need for an experimental facility The need for an experimental facility has been clearly stated in the “Interim Report of the Technical Working Group on accelerator driven sub-critical systems” issued on October 12, 1998; from this document the following basic guidelines have been extracted. The XADS programme should be of a sufficiently large breadth to permit to explore and eventually master most of the critical issues associated with the technology of the ADS concept. However, the XADS is not yet the prototype of the industrial device, although most of the problems of the latter should be explored separately and solved in realistic conditions by the XADS. The realisation of a XADS is deemed inevitable to make real progress in the field. In addition, the practical realisation of a unique European XADS constitutes the fastest and most cost effective way to conclusively assess the potentialities and the feasibility of a full-scale industrial programme based on ADS. One of the main parameters of XADS is the maximum produced power of the sub-critical core. The optimum value is a compromise between the minimum value requested to validate the technological options (components, procedure, performance) at an industrial level; the minimum value for performing experimental irradiation; and the investment and operation costs. A preliminary value has already been set tentatively by the TWG to be of the order of 100 MW. 580
There is no specific need at the first XADS stage to make use of the heat produced that can be dissipated to the environment. A relatively low operating temperature can be used for the fuel and in the successive heat extraction process. An important part of the experimental programme is the investigation of the transmutation capabilities of the XADS for minor actinides and long lived fission fragments, in particular 99 Tc and 129 I. An appropriate area at the periphery of the core should be planned and operated in parallel with the rest of the facility. The mission of the XADS can be summarised as follows: • Operability of the accelerator/spallation target/sub-critical assembly complex in realistic conditions and with a sufficient power (100 MW). The initial fuel could be an existing U-Pu oxide, like for instance the second, fresh core of Superphénix or an equivalent high enrichment fuel of commercial availability. • Innovative fuels with a high minor actinide enrichment and fuel cycle qualification and operation. • Demonstration of the capability to transmute various actinides fuels. • Assessment of the capacity to transmute long-lived fission products at an industrial level. 3. XADS cooled by the Pb-Bi eutectic Since early 1998, the Italian ENEA, INFN, CRS4 and Ansaldo have set up a team, led by Ansaldo, to design an 80 MWth XADS, a key-step towards the assessment of the feasibility and operability of an ADS prototype. The results obtained so far, though preliminary and not exhaustive, allow outlining a consistent XADS configuration. The main issues investigated and the associated solutions proposed (see Table 1 and Figure 1, in fine) are concisely described here below. 3.1 The accelerator drive The process of selection of the accelerator type, a cyclotron or a linac or a combination of both all types presenting advantages and drawbacks is continuing at present. The results of investigations carried out so far support the confidence that the required facility can be obtained scaling up by a factor of 2 to 4 the power of existing facilities, such as the cyclotron installed at the PSI or the linac installed at Los Alamos. In particular the cyclotron-based facility has been analysed in detail and the modifications identified. The INFN-LNS of Catania has carried out a scoping study aimed at identifying a compact accelerator system based on an upgraded design of currently operating facilities. This work has screened out a solution based on cyclotrons arranged in series and capable to supply a proton beam power in excess of 3 MW. The main issues to be solved are stability and reliability of the present accelerator technology. In an ADS, the ideal proton beam to be supplied to the sub-critical core, must be reliable and stable in time as required by the nuclear safety and investment protection. 581
