What Does ADS Stand For?
ADS stands for Accelerator Driven System
ADS, or Accelerator Driven System, refers to a technology that combines a particle accelerator with a subcritical nuclear reactor to enhance safety and efficiency in nuclear power generation. The accelerator delivers high-energy protons or other particles to a target material, producing neutrons that sustain a controlled nuclear reaction in the reactor core. This approach not only facilitates the use of alternative fuels, including spent nuclear fuel, but also minimizes the risks of proliferation and accidents, making ADS a promising option for future sustainable energy solutions.
