Resumo
Recently Rubbia et alii introduced a conceptual
design of a Fast Energy Amplifier (FEA) as an
advanced innovative reactor, which, besides being
breeder and waste bumer, generates energy. The
FEA utilizes a neutron spallation source induced by
a proton beam of a three-stage cyclotron accelerator
to induce fission in a subcritical core imbibed in a
molten lead coolant. This paper introduces some
qualitative changes in the Rubbia's concept. The
novel element of our concept is the introduction of
more than one point of spallation (at least two), in
order to make the neutron distribution more uniform
and reduce the requirements (current, and energy)
of the accelerator. Also, the subcritical core that in
Rubbia's concept is a hexagonal array of fuel pins
imbibed in molten lead is replaced in our concept by
a solid lead calandria with the fuel elements in
channels cooled by Helium. This concept will allow
fuel refueling and shuming on line, which we believe
will be more efficient in waste incineration, since a
fuel element can circulate in different reactor
positions before discharge.
