The XT-ADS is an experimental accelerator driven system (ADS) that is being developed in the framework of the European FP6 EUROTRANS project. In this deliverable, the specifications of the spallation target and the selection of its reference design are discussed. Justification of the design options, in relation to the performance requirements of the XT-ADS and the interlinking with the design of the sub-critical core and the primary system, are given.
