Summary of discussions in working group 2. ADS and subsystem

  • 1. Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen (Switzerland)
  • 2. Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, Ibaraki (Japan)

Description

The group agreed that it was necessary to distinguish between a full-scaled transmutation plant (TP) and a system test facility (STF) which would be a precursor to the TP and is the only facility whose construction could be considered in the near future. The driven facility and its spallation target was discussed, including. The spallation target loop and beam window, and the driven facility (subcritical core and its cooling loop). Classification of beam trips ('unscheduled' beam loss) and unresolved or not finally resolved issues were also considered. (author)
