A Provisional Study of ADS Within the Turkic Accelerator Complex Project

Abstract

The Turkic Accelerator Complex (TAC) project has been developed with the support of the Turkish State Planning Organization through collaboration of ten Turkish universities. The complex is planned to have four main facilities: Super-Charm Factory, free-electron laser (FEL), synchrotron radiation (SR) source, and GeV energy, mA current proton linear accelerator (linac). As Turkey has essential thorium reserves, the ADS has become a very attractive emerging energy technology for our country.
