The IFMIF (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility) project aiming at material tests for a future fusion DEMO reactor is under the Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities (EVEDA) phase in the Broader Approach (BA) Agreement of fusion program between Japan and EU. As a part of the activities, the installation and commissioning of the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is at the stage of demonstration of the feasibility of the low energy section of an IFMIF deuteron accelerator up to 9 MeV with a beam current of 125 mA in CW. The installation and the beam commissioning of LIPAc injector have just started at Rokkasho, Japan. After the commissioning of the injector, RFQ, MEBT, D-Plate, HEBT, beam dump and SRF linac will be installed and tested in step-by-step approach until the BA period.
