The plants envisioned in this ATW technology roadmap would contain multiple sub-critical fission assemblies (burners) driven by two high-power proton linear accelerators. The accelerator technology and design are similar to those proposed for the Accelera...
The type of radiofrequency plant typical of orbital accelerating machines is demonstrated, and formulas are given that show that the accelerating device (resonant cavity) is loaded by the beam and that the loading depends only on the characteristics of the beam and the accelerating voltage, Design criteria ...

A linear induction accelerator that produces a beam of energetic heavy ions (T -- 10 GeV, A -- 200 amu) is a prime candidate as a driver for an inertial fusion power plant. Some early perceptions were that heavy-ion drive fusion would not be cost-competitive with other power sources because of the high cost of the ...

In order to position a pellet within a laser fusion power plant reactor chamber accurately enough so that sufficient light will illuminate the desired portions of the pellet, one must know for the pellet: the positional accuracy required, the acceleration...
A development concept of the accelerator nuclear energy reactors is considered for energy generation and nuclear power plant waste conversion into short-lived nuclides along with the requirements imposed on the technological systems necessary for implementation of such projects. The state of art in the field is discussed.
Recent development work conducted at Brookhaven National Laboratory on technologies which use particle accelerator-driven targets is summarized. These efforts include development of the Spallation-Induced Lithium Conversion (SILC) Target for the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT), the Accelerator-Driven Assembly for Plutonium ...
To accelerate the development of advanced power plants, DOE's Vision 21 program identified the need for an integrated suite of software tools that could be used to simulate and visualize new plant concepts. Existing process simulation software did not mee...
Compared with the number of nuclear power plants that will be decommissioned over the next few years accelerators are only a ``small'' source of radioactivity although at CERN the total amount of mostly metallic material activated in the operation of the accelerators is estimated to be of the order of 15 Mtons. ...
