In the limits of ABC project version of two-sectional reactor system in the form of combination of subcritical blanket on melted salts and multiplying target from threshold fissile material ²³⁷Np is considered. This research is the development of the VNIIEF's earlier work's (Russia) investigating of usage possibilities in ABC project the conception of multisectional blankets with single-sided neutron coupling between sections. With the help of Monte-Carlo program the calculations result of system mentioned are given. The possibility of accelerator's considerable power reduction at the account of thorium target substitution with neptunium-237 multiplying target is shown.
