  The paper presents a survey of the main numerical models used for simulation
of interaction of accelerated particle beams with target nuclei. These models
form the core of the software for simulation of various experiments and
experimental facilities both for scientific and applied purposes. The beam and
target parameters considered in detail in this study (protons and deuterons
with energies from 0.66 to 4 AGeV and bulk U targets) cover the range of
interest in development of new concepts of nuclear power production aided by
accelerated particle beams.
