The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been proposing an accelerator-driven system (ADS) as a future nuclear system to efficiently reduce high-level radioactive waste generated in nuclear power plants. As a first step toward the full-scale design of the CW proton linac for the JAEA-ADS, we are now prototyping a low-
(
) single-spoke cavity. The actual cavity fabrication started in 2020. Most of the cavity parts were shaped in fiscal year 2020 by press-forming and machining. In 2021, we started welding the shaped cavity parts together. By preliminarily investigating the optimum welding conditions using mock-up test pieces, each cavity part was joined with a smooth welding bead. So far, we have fabricated the body section and the beam port section of the cavity. By measuring the resonant frequency of the temporarily assembled cavity, we have confirmed that there is no significant problem with the cavity fabrication.

日本原子力研究開発機構(JAEA)では、原子力発電所で発生する高レベル放射性廃棄物を効率的に低減するために、加速器駆動未臨界システム(ADS)を提案している。ADSの課題の1つが、加速器の信頼性である。JAEA-ADSのCW陽子ライナックの本格的な設計に向けて、現在、低ベータ(約0.2)のシングルスポーク空洞の試作を行っている。日本では超電導スポーク空洞の製造経験がないため、JAEA-ADSライナックの実現可能性を確認するには、空洞の試作と性能試験が不可欠である。そこで2021年度にキャビティ部品の溶接を開始した。電子ビーム溶接条件を事前検討することにより、プレス成形されたニオブ部品は滑らかな溶接ビードで接合された。現在、空洞の本体部分を製作中である。

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is proposing an accelerator-driven subcritical system (ADS) for efficient reduction of high-level radioactive waste generated in nuclear power plants. One of the challenging R&Ds for ADS is the reliability of the accelerator. In preparation for the full-scale design of the proton linac for the JAEA-ADS, we are now prototyping a single spoke cavity for low-beta (around 0.2) beam acceleration. As there is no experience of manufacturing a superconducting spoke cavity in Japan, the cavity prototyping and performance testing are essential to ensure the feasibility of the JAEA-ADS linac. To proceed to an actual cavity production, we have reviewed the fabrication method including frequency adjustment at manufacturing. We examined the electron-beam welding using niobium test pieces and investigated the welding condition for realizing the smooth underbead. Then, we performed press forming of niobium sheets to shape each part of the cavity. We have eventually fabricated all the cavity parts by the press forming work and the precision cutting work.
