Abstract

There are considered interaction of accelerator-subcritical reactor in energy producing and nuclear waste transmutation problem. Review of some papers connected with this topic is given. Separate tasks which are related to this problem are control of nuclear reactor with accelerator, optimal choice of accelerator and reactor types, beam dynamics optimization and Structure of active reactor zone optimization. Possible construction of compact energy-producing nuclear station is proposed.
