The prototype accelerator is being carried out for an engineering validation of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) as accelerator-driven-type neutron source for developing fusion reactor materials. This is a deuteron linear accelerator consisting of an injector, an RFQ, a superconducting RF linac, RF power systems, a beam dump and beam transport lines. The specification of the target is to produce a CW deuteron beam with the beam energy and current of 9 MeV/ 125 mA. From the spring of 2014, full installation of the injector was started at Rokkasho site and the injector beam test has been just began from November 2014 in order to obtain better beam qualities for successful injection and acceleration of the following accelerators such as RFQ.

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.
