The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is proposing an Accelerator Driver Subcritical System (ADS) for the transmutation of the nuclear waste. ADS will consist in a superconducting CW proton linear accelerator with a final energy of 1.5 GeV and beam current of 20 mA. The main part of the acceleration, from 2 MeV to 1.5 GeV, will take part in the superconducting region using five types of radio frequency cavities. The ADS operation demands a high intensity, and reliability of the beam therefore, the beam optics design plays a fundamental role to avoid the emittance growth and reduce the beam losses and halo.
