THE EVALUATION OF PRELIMINARY EXTRAPOLATION EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OF THE CHINESE ADS SUBCRITICAL EXPERIMENTAL ASSEMBLY VENUS-1

摘要

The design objectives and structure of the Chinese accelerator-driven subcritical system (ADS) subcritical assembly VENUS-1 are presented. The experiment of source multiplication method is used to determine the final loading of the Chinese ADS VENUS-1 subcritical assembly. The k_(eff) of the assembly with the same loading as extrapolation experiment have been calculated. The results of calculation and experiment are evaluated. The final loading of the Chinese ADS VENUS-1 subcritical assembly has been determined by preliminary experiments on VENUS-1.
