Accelerator driven systems (ADS) for energy production and waste transmutation: International trends in R&D

摘要

The present study is a content analysis of references and abstracts from three international CDROM databases: INIS, INSPEC and Chemical Abstracts (CA). A total of 2336 bibliographic records on Accelerator Driven Systems for Energy Production and Waste Transmutation were downloaded and analyzed. These records were grouped under six separate categories (1) target systems. (2) Blanket/fuel systems. (3) Materials studies. (4) Experiments and computer simulation codes. (5) Chemical separation and fuel processing. (6) Accelerator systems and development.
