dc.description.abstractA spallation neutron source was modeled using a high energy proton accelerator. The aim is to maximize the minor actinides and fission products transmutation rates, which is created from the operation of nuclear power reactors for the production of electricity. The transmutation system is composed of a natural lead target, beam window, subcritical core, reflector, and structural material. The neutrons are produced by the spallation reaction of protons from a high intensity linear accelerator in the spallation target, and the fission reaction in the core. It is used a hexagonal lattice for the waste and fuel assemblies. The system is driven by a 1 GeV, 10 mA proton beam incident on a natural lead cylindrical target. The protons were uniformly distributed across the beam. The core is a cylindrical assembly. The main vessel is surrounded by a reflector made of graphite. The axes of the proton beam and the target are concentric with the main vessel axis. The structural walls and the beam window are made of the same material, stainless steel, HT9. We investigated the following neutronics parameters: spallation neutron and proton yields, spatial and energy distribution of the spallation neutrons, and protons, heat deposition, and the production rates of hydrogen and helium, transmutation rate of minor actinides and fission products. In the calculations, the Monte Carlo code MCNPX, which is a combination of LAHET and MCNP, was used. To transport a wide variety of particles, The Los Alamos High Energy Transport Code (LAHET) was used.en_US
