Abstract

The high-intensity proton linear accelerator with an energy of l.5 GeV and an average current of 5.33mA has been proposed for the Neutron Science Project (NSP) at JAERI. The NSP is aiming at exploring nuclear technologies for nuclear waste transmutation based on a proton induced spallation neutrons. The proposed accelerator facilities will be also used in the various basic research fields such as condensed matter physics in combination with a high intensity proton storage ring. The R&D work has been carried out for the components of the front-end of the proton accelerator. For the high energy portion above 1OOMeV, superconducting (SC) accelerator linac has been designed and developed as a major option.
