Abstract: Accelerator driven coupled fast/thermal subcritical system is conceptually designed. In the system, the inner/fast blanket and the outer/thermal blanket are separated each other by large vacuum and B4C coating for on edirection coupling. The metal type fuel (MA + Pu)Zr is loaded into the fast blanket. The oxide type fuels (Th + Pu) O2 and (Th + ^233U + Pu)O2 are loaded into the thermal blanket during the initial cycle and the equilibrium cycle, respectively. ^99Tc, ^129I and ^135Cs are loaded respectively in the form of pure technetium metal, sodium iodide and cesium chlorine into the thermal blanket. The system has good transmutation efficiency, high energy amplification factor and good fuel conversion ability: the energy amplification factor is above 320; the transmutation support ratios of MA and FP are about 1.0 and 2.0 PWRs respectively; the fuel conversion ratio in the thermal blanket is about 0. 715.
