IPAC'23 - Particle Accelerator Projects and Upgrades

IPAC’23 / PARTICLE ACCELERATOR PROJECTS AND UPGRADES 7 Project Region EMEA Project Location Belgium Project Type Project Update Project Description MYRRHA is designed as an Accelerator Driven System. In a first stage to a 600 MeV super-conducting linac, a 100 MeV proton linac will be constructed (until 2027). A connected proton target facility will serve for radioisotope production. Requirements List Available Yes Approval Date 07/09/2018 Status of Contracting The present protoyping will gradually lead to industrial supplies in the coming years. Construction scheduled to start 01/03/2020 Estimated Project Cost 350 MEUR Estimated Construction Duration 8 Type of Equipment to be Purchased 100 MeV proton linac consisting of a 17 MeV injector with 15 copper CH-cavities followed by a superconducting linac with 60 single spoke cavities. A proton target station is foreseen.
