The European Spallation Source is a spallation neutron source driven by a superconducting proton linac and currently under construction in Lund, Sweden. The proton linac of a 5 MW design power, with a 62.5 mA peak current, 2.86 ms pulse length, and 14 Hz repetition rate, is undergoing staged beam commissioning towards the initial user operation planned in 2026 at a reduced power of 2 MW.

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...
The MYRRHA design for an accelerator driven system (ADS) is based on a 4mA, 600 MeV CW superconducting proton linac. The first stage towards its realization is called MINERVA and was approved in 2018 to be constructed by SCK CEN in Belgium. This consist of a 4mA 100MeV superconducting linac as well as two independent target stations, one for radio-isotope research and production of...
