Construction of a FFAG Complex for ADS Research in KURRI

The Kumatori Accelerator-driven Reactor Test project (KART) was undertaken at Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute (KURRI) as of fiscal year 2002, with the aim to demonstrate the basic feasibility of ADS and to develop a 150-MeV proton Fixed-field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) accelerator complex as a neutron production driver. This FFAG complex will be connected with the Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA) for basic ADS experiments by the end of March 2006.
