Abstract:
In this paper,some characteristics of the ADS subcritical reactor core is described using the Monte Carlo code(MCNP).The
keff value,neutron energy spectrum and neutron flux of a ADS system are obtained by the MCNP code under certain ADS core size as the ADS target and coolant are lead,lead-bismuth alloy,bismuth and mercury respectively.The data and the ADS system parameters obtained from the MCNP simulation calculation are compared and analyzed.The results show that the lead-bismuth alloy is the best material for ADS target and coolant among all the materials tested.
