IAEA-TC--903.3: Feasibility and Motivation for Hybrid Concepts for Nuclear Energy Generation and Transmutation
Technical Committee Meeting, Madrid, Spain 17-19 September 1997
International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna (Austria), IAEA-TC--903.3
Abstract
A Consultancy meeting on Hybrid Concepts for Nuclear Energy Generation and Transmutation held in Vienna, in December 1996 recommended the IAEA to convene a Technical Committee Meeting on Feasibility and Motivation for Hybrid Concepts for Nuclear Energy Generation and Transmutation. The TCM was held at CIEMAT headquarters in Madrid, Spain, from 17- 19 September 1997. 68 participants and observers from 18 Member States and 4 International organizations and Scientific Centers attended this meeting and 32 papers were presented. The meeting included a workshop and 6 technical sessions. The Workshop "ADS in future nuclear fuel cycles and waste management" was included in the Agenda in order to inform participants in more detail on several major programmes/concepts of ADS development.
The country representatives' statements made during these sessions and panel discussions were focused on the following:
- several accelerator systems and sources concepts can be developed for ADS,
- it is however important to have a very reliable source of neutron coupled to the reactor system,
- effort to develop neutronic benchmarks and codes for ADS should be pursued at the international level,
- Accclcrator Driven Systems are not an alternative to geological disposal; however, they have the potential to drastically reduce the waste toxicity, thanks to their capacity to burn minor actinides and fission products. As a reprocessing stage will be required, non-proliferation concerns should therefore be addressed.
- further development of the ADS concept requires the building of a demonstration device with thermic power, as suggested by scvcral participants, in the 100-300 MW range.
- this preindustrial test should provide inputs on the feasibility of the industrial deployment of ADS, including fuel cycle requirements, and a better understanding of the safety issues to be addressed.
