Accelerator-driven Transmutation Technolgies and Applications──A popular topic on development of nuclear energy

Key words: 
• accelerator sub-critical reactor /
• transmutation /
• clean nuclear power

Abstract: The existing nuclear power system has many problems, such as low utilization ratio of natural resources, output of long life radioactive nuclear wastes and safety of operation etc. The transmutation technology by using accelerator-driven sub-critical reactor can generate not only clean nuclear power, but also can transmutate nuclear wastes and proliferate and produce nuclear fuels. It will be a direction to develop new nuclear power.
