Within the framework of the international cooperation on the PDS- XADS (Preliminary Design Studies of an eXperimental Accelerator Driven System) project, a 80 MWth LBE cooled model has been proposed by ANSALDO/ENEA. The purpose of this technical note is to present preliminary results relative to the investigation of the reactivity void effect corresponding to an hypothetical 100 % coolant voiding in the fuel region. Particular attention has been given to the evaluation of the axial distribution of the void effect in the fuel region.

Abstract
Within the framework of the international cooperation on the PDS- XADS (Preliminary Design Studies of an eXperimental Accelerator Driven System) project, a 80 MWth LBE cooled model has been proposed by ANSALDO/ENEA. The purpose of this technical note is to present preliminary results relative to the investigation of the reactivity void effect corresponding to an hypothetical 100 % coolant voiding in the fuel region. Particular attention has been given to the evaluation of the axial distribution of the void effect in the fuel region.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
