Abstract	It has been proposed to use a proton Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) accelerator to drive an Accelerator Driven Subcritical Reactor (ADSR) as they have the potential to provide high current beams to energies needed, 500 MeV to 1 GeV. This paper describes the results of 6D simulations of acceleration in possible lattice designs to explore longitudinal acceptance. This is needed to evaluate accelerator duty cycle and options for acceleration such as harmonic number jumping.
