Abstract

The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) requires generation, by a linear accelerator (linac), of 250 mA continuous current of deuterons at a nominal energy of 35 MeV, with provision for operation at 30 MeV and 40 MeV. Our basic approach is to provide two linac modules, each delivering 125 mA to a common target for a total of 10 MW of continuous beam power. The deuterons would be stripped in a molten lithium target to two neutrons, with a neutron energy spectrum peaked at ~14 MeV as would be found in a fusion device
