Accelerator Driven Subcritical Reactors (Fundamental and Applied Nuclear Physics Series.)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

This book describes the knowledge necessary for understanding accelerator driven subcritical nuclear reactors (ADSRs), also known as hybrid reactors. It begins with a discussion of the general energy problem and the elementary physics of neutron reactors. The authors then examine the specifics of ADSR, from neutron sources to safety features, and evaluate a number of proposed designs. Topics include the size of hybrid reactors, fuel evolution with its relevance to safety, waste production and incineration, the conditions for having a constant reactivity over a sufficiently long period of time, waste transmutation policies, and the potential advantage of the Thorium cycle.
