摘要：

Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) provide a high flux of MeV energy scale neutrons. Such neutrons can be used for effective transmutation of minor actinides. Minor actinides, mainly americium and curium, are the most problematic component of spent fuel from nuclear power plants because of their high radio-toxicity and long life time. Via fission reactions these isotopes can be transmuted into stable or short-lived isotopes, which may solve the problem. Moderation of neutrons in ADS enables another possibility -- to generate neutron-rich transuranic elements. Although it turns out not to be possible to move further than fermium, this opportunity is interesting in terms of production  targets for cold fusion reaction. This approach may allow to reach the so-called Island of Stability of long-lived super-heavy elements.

报告人简介：

Dr. Malyshkin graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2011. Three years later, in 2014 he defended his PhD at Goethe University of Frankfurt, where he worked on Monte Carlo simulation of accelerator-driven systems, in particular on their application for transmutation of minor actinides. After completion of his PhD work he accepted a postdoc position in Catholic University of Chile and joined the Daya Bay and JUNO collaborations. He is also collaborating with Institute for Nuclear Research of Russian Academy of Science since 2008 and participating in activities of the SAGE collaboration.
