Resumo

Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) are sub-critical nuclear reactor cores driven by external spallation neutron sources. These promising devices must be used not only as dedicated burners of transuranic elements and long-lived fission products but also as energy producers. The spallation neutrons are provided by the bombardment of a heavy metal, when impinged by proton beam, from a high energy proton accelerator.
