In 2010, Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) took charge of the Advanced Nuclear Fission Energy Program-ADS Transmutation System, a strategic priority research program of CAS. In collaboration with other institutes in China, the project was approved by the central government at the end of 2010. This long-term project aims to build a demonstration facility for the transmutation of nuclear waste produced in nuclear power plants. IMP established a department dedicated exclusively to the R&D of a high-intensity superconducting proton accelerator and spallation target system.

 

The proton accelerator of CiADS adopts the continuous wave (CW) and superconducting technical route, and it may accelerate 5 mA proton beam to 500 MeV in energy.

Now the roadmap for the CiADS project is fixed and the research program is on track.
