DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF EXPERIMENTAL ADS AT ITEP

The purposes and current construction state of ITEP experimental accelerator driven system (ADS) are discussed. This hybrid electronuclear facility of moderate power integrates the pulse proton linac (36 MeV, 0.5 mA) and subcritical blanket assembly (heat power of 100 kW). The most part of equipment units are ordered for industrial manufacturing and partly under way. The facility is supposed to be used for investigations of the wide circle of problems concerning with both the accelerator-driver and the target-blanket assembly as well as the exploration of dynamic processes arising during their combined operation. It is planed some applied uses of the proton beams and neutron fluxes. It is possible in future to increase of the proton beam current and energy.
