- Accelerator-driven_sub-critical_reactor abstract "The Accelerator-driven subcritical reactor is a nuclear reactor design discussed by the Accelerator Programme in UK which would be formed by coupling a substantially subcritical nuclear reactor core with a high energy proton accelerator. It would use thorium as a fuel, which is more abundant than the uranium and plutonium in the Earth's crust.The extra neutrons needed for achieving criticality would be provided by an external source - a particle accelerator. One benefit of such reactors is the relatively short life of its waste products, which would be in the hundreds of years as opposed to millions of years for existing nuclear reactors. The high energy proton beam impacts a molten lead target inside the core, chipping or “spallating” neutrons from the lead nuclei. These spallation neutrons convert fertile thorium to fissile uranium-233 and drive the fission reaction in the uranium.Thorium produces 200 times more power per kilo than uranium. Further, thorium reactors can generate power from the plutonium residue left by uranium reactors. Thorium does not require significant refining, unlike uranium and has a higher neutron yield per neutron absorbed. Researchers at the University of Huddersfield conduct thorium-fuelled ADSR research. The researchers believe that after further development, a fully functioning power station based on their technology could be supplying power to the UK’s power grid in 2025.".
