成立性の高い加速器駆動核変換システム(ADS)を実現するため、信頼性の高い加速器と安全性を考慮したプラント設計に関する検討を行った。信頼性の高い加速器については、ビームトリップ頻度を低減するため、多重化加速器概念を提案した。J-PARC LINACの運転データに基づく評価結果から、多重化加速器概念ではビームトリップ頻度が大幅に改善することが示された。LBE冷却型ADSの安全設計として、崩壊熱除去系(PRACS)の基礎的な検討を実施した。ここではPRACSの熱交換器が蒸気発生器と一体化した概念を提案し、除熱源喪失時の過渡解析を行った。解析の結果、PRACSが正常に動作すれば、崩壊熱の除熱が適切に行われることを示した。

To realize the feasible accelerator-driven system (ADS) concept, the investigations for the reliable accelerator and conceptual plant design considering safety issues were performed. As the reliable accelerator concept, the double-accelerator concept was proposed to reduce the beam-trip frequency. The estimated beam-trip frequency with the double-accelerator concept using the J-PARC LINAC operation data showed that the beam-trip frequency was significantly improved with the comparison of the single accelerator result. The basic investigation of the primary reactor auxiliary coolant system (PRACS) was performed for the safety design of the LBE cooled ADS. The concept which the PRACS heat exchanger was integrated to the steam generator was proposed and the transient analysis in the loss of heat sink accident was carried out. The result presented that the decay heat removal was appropriate when the operation of the PRACS succeeded.
