Sustainable Development of Nuclear Energy and Study on ADS in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

As is well known, the disposal of high level nuclear waste is one of the key issues restricting the sustainable development of nuclear energy in the world. The partitioning and transmutation strategy (P&T) has been considered as an alternative for the disposal of high level nuclear waste in future advanced nuclear fuel cycles. For the transmutation of high level nuclear waste, accelerator driven sub-critical system (ADS) has been regarded as the most feasible choice. In this paper, the main technical characteristics of ADS system are described, the world research status and development trends of ADS are introduced, and ADS study plans in China are discussed.
