Electron accelerator for transmutation of fission products and nuclear fuel cycle actinides

The possibility of the development of electron accelerators with an energy of 100 MeV and high (10-MW and 100-MW) mean power for fission products and nuclear fuel cycle actinide transmutation is discussed. It proved expedient (in terms of high efficiency) to design the first-stage accelerator (10 MW...

Summary:The possibility of the development of electron accelerators with an energy of 100 MeV and high (10-MW and 100-MW) mean power for fission products and nuclear fuel cycle actinide transmutation is discussed. It proved expedient (in terms of high efficiency) to design the first-stage accelerator (10 MW) as a racetrack microtron (RTM) and the second-stage as a linac. The main feature of the proposed accelerators is their high efficiency of RF-electron beam power transformation (0.94 and 0.98), which is of great importance for the required beam power level.< >
