We discuss here the concept of Thorium Molten Salt Reactor dedicated to future nuclear
energy production. The fuel of such reactors being liquid, it can be easily reprocessed to …

The rise in oil prices and the increased concern about environmental protection from CO2
emissions have promoted the attention to the use of nuclear power as a viable energy …

The neutron capture cross section of 232 T h has been measured with the time-of-flight
technique in the energy range from 10 to 200 keV at the back-streaming white neutron beam …

We have measured the neutron capture reaction yield of Th 232 at the neutron time-of-flight
facility n_TOF at CERN in the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV. The average capture cross …

The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN, fully operational since 2002, combines a
high instantaneous neutron flux with high energy resolution. The wide energy range and the …

The Am 241 (n, γ) cross section has been measured at the n_TOF facility at CERN using
deuterated benzene liquid scintillators, commonly known as C 6 D 6 detectors, and time-of …

The aim of this study is to investigate the nuclear fuel evolution and the neutronic
parameters of a lead-cooled ADS used for fuel breeding and transmutation of reprocessed …

The yield of the neutron capture reaction 232 Th (n, γ) has been measured at the neutron
time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN in the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV. The reduction …

The coming century will see the exhaustion of standard fossil fuels, coal, gas and oil, which
today represent 75% of the world energy production. Moreover, their use will have caused …

Accelerator‐driven systems (ADSs) are investigated for long‐lived fission product
transmutation and fuel regeneration. The aim of this paper is to investigate the nuclear fuel …
