CONSORT is the UK's last remaining civilian research reactor, and its presentcore is soon to be removed. This study examines the feasibility of re-using thereactor facility for accelerator-driven systems research by replacing the fueland installing a spallation neutron target driven by an external protonaccelerator. MCNP5/MCNPX were used to model alternative, high-density fuels andtheir coupling to the neutrons generated by 230 MeV protons from a cyclotronstriking a solid tungsten spallation target side-on to the core. Low-enrichedU3Si2 and U-9Mo were considered as candidates, with only U-9Mo found to befeasible in the compact core; fuel element size and arrangement were kept thesame as the original core layout to minimise thermal hydraulic and otherchanges. Reactor thermal power up to 2.5 kW is predicted for a keff of 0.995,large enough to carry out reactor kinetic experiments.
