The sodium iodide assembly loadings inside the core of ADS and in the surrounding core region are considered. The introduced concept of ADS with a power of 800MWt is able to transmute 250kg/y of minor actinides (MAs) and 46kg/y of Iodine-129 that supports ten PWRs. The initial loading masses of MAs and I-129 in ADS were equal to 3810kg and 824kg, respectively.enTransmutationIodineNeutronAccelerator-driven systemArticleCopyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
