This system takes the spallation neutrons as the external neutron source to drive and maintain the operation of the subcritical blanket system and has the inherent safety. Spallation target is the most important part of accelerator-driven subcritical sys- tem, playing a role in coupling neutrons created through spallation process to reactor. With in- creasing of the beams power, the material of spallation target becomes particular critical. Granu- lar material as the spallation target proposed by the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chi- nese Academy of Sciences has the advantages of both solid and liquid targets, and can endure do- zens of megawatt level of the future ADS
