Taczanowski, S. (University of Mining and Metallurgy, Cracow (Poland). Faculty of Physics and Nuclear Techniques)

Abstract

The idea of a symbiotic nuclear energy system, consisted of an Accelerator-driven Fuel Regenerator and a number of LWRs serviced by it, is the subject of this study, in view of supposed safety and partitioning avoidance advantages. The design premises leading to this concept are widely discussed.
