In this work, we report studies on a fast low power accelerator driven system model as a possible experimental facility, focusing on its capabilities in terms of measurement of relevant integral nuclear quantities. In particular, we performed Monte Carlo simulations of minor actinides and fission products irradiation and estimated the fission...

We studied a flexible ADS-based irradiation facility with fast neutrons inside the core and slow neutrons in the composite reflector containing light materials. The fast reactor core has been designed using MCNP-6 code with a mixed reflector formed by three concentric cylindrical layers (lead+graphite+lead) in order to have different neutrons...
