主　　题：LBE(lead bismuth eutectic)coolant reactor China initiative Accelerator Driven System(CiADS)project research progress 

摘      要：China’s accelerator driven subcritical system(ADS)development has made significant progress during the past *** the successful construction and operation of the international prototype of ADS superconducting proton linac,the lead-based critical/subcritical zero-power facility VENUS-II and the comprehensive thermal-hydraulic and material test facilities for LBE(lead bismuth eutectic)coolant,China is playing a pivotal role in advanced steady-state operations toward the next step,the ADS *** China initiative Accelerator Driven System(CiADS)is the next facility for China’s ADS program,aimed to bridge the gaps between the ADS experiment and the LBE cooled subcritical *** total power of the CiADS will reach 10 *** CiADS engineering design was approved by Chinese government in *** then,the CiADS project has been fully transferred to the construction application *** subcritical reactor is an important part of the whole CiADS ***,a pool-type LBE cooled fast reactor is chosen as the subcritical reactor of the *** and thermal experiments and software development for LBE coolant were conducted simultaneously to support the design and construction of the CiADS LBEcooled subcritical ***,it is necessary to introduce the efforts made in China in the LBE-cooled fast reactor to provide certain supporting data and reference solutions for further design and development for ***,the roadmap of China’s ADS,the development process of the CiADS,the important design of the current CiADS subcritical reactor,and the efforts to build the LBE-cooled fast reactor are presented.
