	High-power FFAG rings are under study to serve as drivers for neutron spallation, muon production, and accelerator-driven reactor systems. In this paper, which follows on from earlier work, a 20 - 70 MeV model for a high-power FFAG driver is described. This model would serve as a test bed to study topics such as space charge and injection in such rings. The design incorporates a long straight to facilitate H^- charge exchange injection. The dynamic aperture is calculated in order to optimize the working point in tune space. The injection scheme is also described. A separate design for an ISIS injector, featuring a novel modification to the scaling law, was also studied. G.H. Rees and D.J.

	The ISIS linac consists of four DTL tanks that accelerate a 50 pps, 20 mA H⁻ beam up to 70 MeV before injecting it into an 800 MeV synchrotron. Over the last decades, the linac has proved to be a stable and reliable injector for ISIS, which is a significant achievement considering that two of the tanks are nearly 60 years old. At the time the machine was designed, the limited computing power available and the absence of modern modeling codes, made the creation of a complex simulation model almost impossible. However, over the last few years, computer tools have became an integral part of any accelerator design, so in this paper we present a beam dynamics model of the ISIS linac. A comparison between the simulation results and machine operation data will be discussed, as well as possible linac tuning scenarios and recommended upgrades based on the new model.

High-power FFAG rings are under study to serve as drivers for neutron spallation, muon production, and accelerator-driven reactor systems. In this paper, which follows on from earlier work*, a 20 - 70 MeV model for a high-power FFAG driver is described. This model would serve as a test bed to study topics such as space charge and injection in such rings. The design incorporates a long straight to facilitate H^- charge exchange injection. The dynamic aperture is calculated in order to optimize the working point in tune space. The injection scheme is also described. A separate design for an ISIS injector, featuring a novel modification to the scaling law, was also studied.
