Abstract
Because of the safer and more reliable mode of operation, a Superconducting Linac has been proposed as the proton beam accelerator which drives a nuclear plant based on the concept of the Energy Amplifier. An example based on the net generation of 400 MW (electric) is described. This requires a proton beam energy of 1 GeV with a continuous beam current of 10 mA, corresponding to a beam power of 10 MW. Two frequencies cases, 360 and 805 MHz, have been considered for the Linac design. Performance and cost comparison for the two cases are given
