The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) is developing an Accelerator Driven System (ADS) for transmutation of nuclear waste such as minor actinide (MA) and long-lived fission product (LLFP). To study and evaluate the feasibility of ADS by physical and engineering viewpoints, the Transmutation Experimental Facility (TEF) is proposed under a framework of J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) project. The TEF consists of two facilities named as Transmutation Physics Experimental Facility (TEF-P) and ADS Target Test Facility (TEF-T). The TEF-P consists of a zero-power critical assembly which is operated with a low power proton beam to research the reactor physics and the controllability of ADS. The TEF-T is a facility for material irradiation and partial mockup of beam window which can accept a maximum 600MeV-200kW proton beam into the Pb-Bi eutectic target. The purposes, experimental items and the specifications of the facilities are described.

The construction of Transmutation Experimental Facility (TEF) is planned under the framework of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) project. A liquid lead-bismuth (Pb-Bi) spallation target with beam power of 600MeV-200kW will be installed into the TEF. Analyses were performed to determine the effective thickness of biological shield for Pb-Bi target by using both MCNPX and ATRAS code system. Thickness of around 6m should be required to decrease the radiation level. The streaming analyses through the proton injection beam duct and the primary cooling circuit piping were also performed. The result of the beam duct streaming shows good agreement between the results of MCNPX and DUCT-III. The additional shield must be installed to suppress the activation of accelerator components. In the case of streaming through the primary cooling circuit piping, it is proved that the radiation level at the exit of the shield is allowable. The radiation level can be much more reduced by optimizing the bending position and length of the piping.

The high intensity proton accelerator facility project which is conducted jointly by JAERI and KEK is to use the secondary particles produced by nuclear spallation for various science studies. A negative hydrogen ion beam source for the accelerator is required to extract a peak beam current of more than 60 mA with a duty factor of 2.5 %. In addition, the ions should be negatively charged in order to improve the capture efficiency of the beam injected into a synchrotron. At JAERI, a negative ion source for the project has been developed with various technologies based on the large negative ion source for the nuclear fusion application. The negative ion beam current and the rms normalized emittance of 72 mA and 0.15 mm.mrad were achieved in the cesium seeded operation, respectively. A waveform of the pulsed beam current was sensitive to the operation gas flow rate, and became to have a good flatness at about 16 SCCM. These results show that the basic performance of the ion source satisfies the requirement of the ion source for the project.
