In the first example, they propose using the 6Li in the LiF carrier to produce more than 2 kg/y of tritium (decaying to 3He with 12.3 year half-life) using a 2.5 MWb superconducting proton linac to drive the subcritical 500 MWt reactor burning surplus plutonium. The collection of other valuable fission-product radioisotopes like 133Xe will also benefit from the high temperature and continuous removal and separation afforded by fractional distillation PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland SP - 527 EP - 529 KW - simulation KW - controls KW - proton KW - MMI KW - interface DA - 2018/06 PY - 2018 SN - 978-3-95450-184-7 DO - 10.18429/JACoW-IPAC2018-MOPML054 UR - http://jacow.org/ipac2018/papers/mopml054.pdf ER -
