加速器驱动的嬗变技术及应用──一个关于核能发展的热门话题

Accelerator-driven Transmutation Technolgies and Applications──A popular topic on development of nuclear energy

当前的核电技术存在着资源利用率低、排出高放射性长寿命废物以及运行的安全性等问题．利用加速器驱动次临界堆的嬗变技术，不仅可以产生“洁净”的核电，还可以对高放射性核废物进行嬗变处理，同时又能对核材料进行核燃料的增殖或生产，是新一代核能利用的发展方向．

The existing nuclear power system has many problems, such as low utilization ratio of natural resources, output of long life radioactive nuclear wastes and safety of operation etc. The transmutation technology by using accelerator-driven sub-critical reactor can generate not only 'clean' nuclear power, but also can transmutate nuclear wastes and proliferate and produce nuclear fuels. It will be a direction to develop new nuclear power.
