MC3.A02: Ion linac projects

Plenary Talk (Invitation Only)

This talk presents the status of major linear accelerators in Korea: the RAON (heavy ion accelerator), the KOMAC (100 MeV proton accelerator), and the Pohang XFEL linear accelerator. Also future plans for each facility is to be presented including the energy upgrade of the RAON to 200 MeV/u (uranium) and the energy upgrade of the KOMAC to 200 MeV to study the radiation effects of semiconductor chips.

120. Updates on the Worldwide efforts for transmutation of spent nuclear fuel with accelerator driven systems (MO1A)

MC3.A03: Other proton/ion

Plenary Talk (Invitation Only)

There is a worldwide demand for power, most recently driven by the >200 new chips fabs being built and the number of data centers being built and planned.

We need to turn to the nuclear solutions to solve these energy hungry global activities.

The problem is always the concern on the waste final disposition.

Used nuclear fuel reaches radiotoxicity equivalent to natural uranium ore in...

121. Linacs for lithography

Erik Hosler (GlobalFoundries (United States))

MC2.A03: Energy recovery linacs

Plenary Talk (Invitation Only)

Light drives innovation – the wavelength, the power, the intrinsic qualities. From the mask shop to the packaging fab, from lithography to metrology, each technology node has relied on light invention to enable scaling, process control, reliability, and even ensuring supply chain security. However, the increasing cost and complexity of new light sources to meet industry demands has become...
