Description

To develop the next generation of safe and cleaner nuclear energy, the accelerator-driven subcritical(ADS) system emerges as one of the most attractive technologies. The Chinese ADS proofing project(CAFe) was launched in 2011 under the management of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to demonstrate the key technologies including superconducting proton linac, heavy metal target and subcritical nuclear reactor. A 25 MeV superconducting proton linac is developed by the cooperation between Institute of Modern Physics and Institute of High Energy Physics. Recently a 10mA, 100kW CW proton beam has been accelerated successfully, which reaches a new world record in the CW proton linac field. In this paper, the beam commissioning activities and issues are reported.
