Author_Institution :

Abstract :
Recently, JINR (Dubna) decided to erect a new accelerator driven intense resonance neutron spectrometer. Specifications in terms of output parameters are as follows. The integral neutron yield is approximately 1015 neutrons per second. The neutron pulse duration is approximately 400 ns. The repetition rate is 150 Hz. IREN source consists of a S-band linac, a multiplying target as a converter and a plutonium subcritical core. The present status of the S-band linac systems will be addressed
