| Abstract |
Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) are comprised of high power accelerators supplying a proton beam to a reactor vessel. The reactor vessel could contain fuels such as used uranium nuclear fuels or Thorium. The proton beam will be used to produce Neutrons by spallation in the reactor vessel. Technology readiness levels (TRL’s) can be used to chart technology status with respect to end goal and as such can be used to outline a road map to complete an ADS system. TRL1 defines basic principles observed and reported, whereas TRL9 is defined as system ready for full scale deployment. SRF technology when applied to ADS reflects a mix of TRL levels since worldwide many SRF Accelerators are in operation. The paper will identify the building blocks of an ADS accelerator and analyze each for technical readiness for industrial scale deployment. The integrated ADS structure is far more complex than the individual systems, but the use of proven sub-systems allows to build SRF accelerators that could deliver the beam required. An analysis of the technical readiness of SRF technology for ADS will be presented.
