Abstract: Various concepts of accelerator driven systems (ADS) for the incineration of nuclear wastes like minor actinides (MA) and long-lived fission products (LLFP) are under investigation now worldwide. Creation of large subcritical accelerator driven systems ADS should precede experimental checks of the theoretical predictions and estimation of technological features of such systems.
To resolve some questions an ADS with thermal power of several kW is sufficient. At the present time the project on creation of the 27 kW ADS with U-Pu MOX fuel is under realization at JINR. Existing 660 MeV proton accelerator will drive subcritical core of the SAD installation. Project objectives, technical description and current status are presented.
