Abstract
An accelerator-driven system (ADS) for transmutation of nuclear waste typically requires a 600 MeV-1 GeV accelerator delivering a proton flux of a few mAs for demonstrators, and of a few tens of mAs for large industrial systems. This paper briefly describes the reference solution adopted for such a machine, based on a reliability-oriented linear superconducting accelerator, and focuses on the status of the R&D presently ongoing on some prototypical accelerator components. This work is performed within the 6th Framework Programme EC project "EUROTRANS".
