Abstract

The JHF of KEK and the NSP of JAERI were joined to form one project in order to more effectively promote a wide range of scientific and engineering fields included in either of the projects. The Joint Project is divided into two phases. Phase I comprises a 400-MeV linac, a 3-GeV, 1-MW rapid-cycling synchrotron and a 50-GeV synchrotron. Phase II is the upgraded system, which includes a several-MW pulsed spallation neutron source. The high-energy linac of the Phase I will be a superconducting one, in order to develop one of the most crucial accelerator techniques for realizing an accelerator-driven nuclear waste transmutation system. The R&D results accomplished for the Joint Project are highlighted
