Comparison Study between ADS Granular and Monolith Targets using Monte Carlo Method

Using the Fluka Monte Carlo code,the comparison study between granular target and monolith target in neutron and proton leakages,neutron and proton fluxes,energy deposition density and residual radioactivity as well as gamma dose rates were presented.Results shows that the neutron flux and energy deposition in tungsten spheres target are more homogeneous along the axial direction than monolith target.What's more,the granular target has a more lateral neutron yield and a relatively small amount of neutrons in the backward direction.In addition,the total radioactivity is found to be comparatively lower in granular target,although for some nuclei,the value of their activities are similar for both targets.So the above features make the granular target more suitable as a ADS target.
