The R&D works on the high intensity proton accelerator for nuclear waste transmutation

The R&D works of the 10 MeV/10 mA proton linear accelerator have been carried out for the last four years. A high brightness hydrogen ion source, an RFQ and an RF power source have been developed and examined to achieve a 2 MeV proton beam. A DTL hot test model was also fabricated and a high power test has been carried out. The present status of the R&D works are described in this paper.
