Mathematical investigation of a possibility of increase in power of the subcritical assembly in Dubna (SAD) up to 100 kW

Results of Monte Carlo modeling of the experimental accelerator-driven electronuclear system composed of the subcritical assembly and the phasotron of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research are presented. The design thermal power of the subcritical assembly in Dubna (SAD) is equal to 30 kW. A possibility of increasing the assembly power without changing its design and basic components is considered. The proposed upgrade of the installation provides a power increase of up to 100 kW and is based on operations available both before and after the installation is brought to operation at the nominal power with partial fulfillment of the experimental program.
