| The JAERI-KEK Joint Facility for High Intensity Proton Accelerators, called the J-PARC Project, is a accelerator project in Japan with which to produce MW-class high power proton beams at both 3 GeV and 50 GeV, where J-PARC stands for Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. Construction budget started on April 1, 2001, with an anticipated first beam in the summer of 2007. Transmutation Experimental Facility (TEF) composed of two experimental facilities, Transmutation Physics Experimental Facility (TEF-P) and ADS Target Test Facility (TEF-T), will be constructed. TEF-P equips a critical assembly to investigate physical and dynamic properties of the accelerator-driven system by using low power (10W) proton beam. Uranium, Plutonium and minor actinide fuels are planned to be loaded into the assembly. TEF-T is a facility to examine the existence of ADS (Accelerator-driven System) by engineering viewpoint. Liquid lead-bismuth spallation target is installed to the TEF-T and is irradiated by 600MeV-200kW proton beam. |
