Abstract :
The Subcritical Actinide Nuclear Reactor (SCANUR) guided by the electron-gamma-neutron chains is considered. It can incinerate the nuclear waste from a 3 GW nuclear power plant. The main requirements for the reactor system and electron linac are formulated. In this paper the outline of the main linac system and parameters is discussed
