TRADE (TRIGA Reactor Accelerator Driven Experiment) will be the demonstration of the coupling of a real spallation source with a sub-critical reactor. TRADE and its motivation are summarised. The experimental work plan of the campaign is presented. The first experiments with the accelerator are scheduled around 2006 or 2007. Some specifics of the TRIGA core are given and particularly about fuel burn-up. Core calculation results with Monte-Carlo and deterministic codes and rods worth obtained during the short campaign of fall 2002 are presented. The comparison between calculated results and this first experiment gives confidence for the follow-up work.
