Abstract

In this paper the current status of the study of the dynamical behaviour of the proposed ADS is presented; it is a complex multi-physics problem which, in the present case of a very low k eff system, is conveniently analyzed because the characteristic time scales of the problem are well separated. To be more specific, time scales of the neutronic (prompt) response of the system are so short to be negligible when studying thermal, mechanical and hydraulic aspects.
