Fast Reactors and Accelerator Driven Systems Knowledge Base

The objective of this workshop was to familiarize the students with the status of the R&D activities in the areas of:

• General Concept and System Studies
• Accelerator
• Target
• Sub-Critical Core
• Fuel Development
• Fuel Cycle Studies

Participants were given a review of ADS designs presently under consideration. Participants studied the theoretical foundation of ADS design work, identified the most problematic areas as well as the limitations of the simulation methods. Based on the discussion of the impact of the present uncertainties on the performance of the ADS, the needs for data and methods development and validation work were identified. Eighteen participants from 13 different countries namely (Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Belarus, Croatia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russian Federation, Sudan, Slovakia and Turkey) took part in the Workshop.
