Summary

A collaborative study by Los Alamos and Brookhaven National Laboratories, supported by the Westinghouse Hanford Company, investigating a facility to produce tritium for the nation's defense needs indicates that a 1.6-GeV, 250-mA proton accelerator is required. A reference design of this accelerator starts with two parallel 125-keV injectors feeding 350-MHz radio-frequency quadrupoles (RFQ) that funnel at 2.5 MeV into a 700-MHz drift-tube linac (DTL). The DTL injects at 100 MeV into a 1400-MHz side-coupled linac (SCL). The accelerator will cost about $1.2 B and require 746 MW of electricity. 3 refs., 3 tabs.
