IFMIF accelerator facility

Abstract

The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) Accelerator Facility consists of two 125 mA, 40 MeV cw deuteron linacs which provide beams to the molten lithium Target Facility. The reference design for the Accelerator Facility has evolved through the several stages of the IFMIF program [IFMIF Conceptual Design Activity, Final Report, IFMIF-CDA Team (ed. by M.

A reference design report, with updated technical, cost and schedule information, is in preparation this year, and will be outlined in this paper. © 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
