4.2 IFMIF/EVEDA Project

Abstract

Development of an IFMIF/EVEDA prototype accelerator aimed at a high intensity neutron source is ongoing. In the initial stage injector test, the target 100 keV–140 mA deuteron acceleration is demonstrated. This beam is accelerated to 5 MeV by the subsequent high-frequency quadrupole linear accelerator and is planned to be accelerated to 9 MeV with a superconducting accelerator. The EVEDA Lithium Test Loop which is the target of the deuteron beam for IFMIF demonstrated liquid lithium flow of 15 m/s, stable operation for 1,300 h.
