MC3.A02: Ion linac projects

Plenary Talk (Invitation Only)

This talk presents the status of major linear accelerators in Korea: the RAON (heavy ion accelerator), the KOMAC (100 MeV proton accelerator), and the Pohang XFEL linear accelerator. Also future plans for each facility is to be presented including the energy upgrade of the RAON to 200 MeV/u (uranium) and the energy upgrade of the KOMAC to 200 MeV to study the radiation effects of semiconductor chips.

120. Updates on the Worldwide efforts for transmutation of spent nuclear fuel with accelerator driven systems (MO1A002)

MC3.A03: Other proton/ion

Plenary Talk (Invitation Only)

To address the challenge of nuclear waste storage, the international community is pursuing accelerator-driven subcritical systems (ADS) to reduce both the volume and radiotoxicity of spent nuclear fuel. ADS utilizes high-intensity linacs, which must operate with high reliability to prevent thermal stress on reactor structures. This presentation provides an overview of global transmutation...
