Abstract
⺠Hydrogen isotopes are the most effective projectiles for production of spallation neutrons. ⺠For every target material, incident ion type and energy there is an optimal target size which results in the escape of a maximum number of spallation neutrons from the target. ⺠In an ADS, a beam of 1.5 GeV deuteron and a U-target results in the highest neutron yield and energy gain. ⺠For 1.5 GeV d + U, ADS with lead or LBE moderator, required ion current is only 38% of that for 1 GeV p + Pb, ADS. ⺠For a 1.5 GeV d + 238U ADS of output power 550 MWth, a deuteron beam of average current 1.8 mA is required.
