4 Introduction The main aim of the E&T-RAW research: Investigation of electronuclear production of neutrons for nuclear energy generation and transmutation of spent nuclear fuel in the deep subcritical Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) Attention has been focused on core with maximally hard neutron spectrum 4

6 Introduction A recently introduced scheme of subcritical ADS with a hard spectrum has been called Relativistic Nuclear Technology (RNT) deep subcritical natural (depleted) uranium/thorium core spent nuclear fuel elements high-temperature helium coolant minimal neutron leakage Energy of incident particles E p,d ~ 10 GeV 6

NIM A (2010) ø 10 x 100 cm lead target compilation of experimental data + new measurement maximum neutron production around the beam energy 1 GeV Kinetic energy of neutron radiation E kin and mean neutron energy < E n > grow Energy W spent on neutron production increases as well STILL Optimal beam energy for ADS: OPEN 7

25 Conclusion Radial and longitudinal distribution of (n,2n) and (n,g) reaction rates in 238 U and fission rates in both 235 U and 238 U have been measured Results revealed a shift in the mean energy of neutron spectrum towards higher energies when increasing the deuteron beam energy from to Contribution of 235 U to the total fission rate in nat U was determined to be up to 10% in the peripheral region of the QUINTA target and is beam-energy-dependent
26 Future plans 500 kg 20 tons Experiments with BURAN (20t nat U) will be realized in the near future (2016) Phasotron E p = 660 MeV: Neutron spectrum measurements with a set of 235,238 U, 232 Th, Bi, Au, Y, Co, Al monoisotope activation detectors (unfolding of neutron spectra) Collaboration is welcome
