A pilot plant for the accelerator-driven system is proposed as a scaled-down version of a lead-bismuth cooled ADS with 800 MW thermal output for transmutation of minor actinides. In this article, the design policy of the pilot plant is elaborated for each design area: safety, subcritical management, sub-critical core, accelerator, target and in-core components. The conceptual design of the pilot ADS is also presented: 200 MW of thermal output, keff below 0.95, introduction of control rod, 1.0 GeV-10mA accelerator and roughly-estimated size of in-core components.
