In the frame of the IFMIF/EVEDA project, a high-intensity (125 mA) CW deuteron accelerator will be installed and commissioned at the Rokkasho Broader Approach (BA) site. The main objective of this 9 MeV prototype is to provide information on the feasibility of the design, the manufacturing and the operation of the two linacs (up to 40 MeV) foreseen for IFMIF. Based on the requirements for each system (accelerators, lithium target and tests facility) which are deduced from the IFMIF fusion material irradiation requirements, given by the users, the objectives of this accelerator prototype are defined and presented here. Also, because of the distributed nature of the design work and the procurement of the accelerator, organization of the installation and commissioning phase is essential. The installation and commissioning schemes, the organization proposed and the overall plans are presented.
