Speaker:   Pierre Bricault ()

Title:     ISOL @MYRRHA Facility

Abstract: SCK-CEN is proposing to build the very first prototype nuclear reactor in the world to be driven by a particle accelerator, MYRRHA. The proton beam accelerator can deliver 4-mA at 600 MeV. The proton beam will interact with the Pb-Bi eutectic, which is used as the spallation target and the reactor coolant. ISOL at MYRRHA is a project proposing to use part (up to 5%) of the proton beam intensity that is not used by the MYRRHA reactor. There is also a possible upgrade of the energy by post-accelerating the proton beam to ISOL at MYRRHA to 1-GeV in the future. In the end ISOL at MYRRHA will be using 1-GeV : 200-µA proton beam. The project is in its initial conceptual design phase. The concept for the 200 kW target station, front end and mass-separator will be presented.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
