  The MYRRHA project aims at coupling a cw 600 MeV, 4 mA proton linac with a sub-critical reactor as the very first prototype nuclear reactor to be driven by a particle accelerator (ADS). Among several applications, MYRRHA main objective is to demonstrate the principle of partitioning and transmutation (P&T) as a viable solution to drastically reduce the radiotoxicity of long-life nuclear waste. For this purpose, the linac needs an unprecedented level of reliability in terms of allowable beam trips. The normal conducting injector delivers 16.6 MeV protons to the superconducting main linac. The first section of the injector (up to 5.9 MeV) consists of an ECR source, a 4-Rod-RFQ and a rebunching line followed by 7 individual CH-type cavities. This entire section will be set up and operated by SCK·CEN in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, for ample performance and reliability testing. The first CH cavity has been sent for power tests to IAP Frankfurt, Germany. The most recent status of all cavities, couplers and the beam diagnostics of the MYRRHA injector is presented in this paper.

MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications) is the first prototype of an accelerator driven nuclear reactor dealing with the transmutation of long-living nuclear waste. Beam quality and reliability are crucial for the reactor. The injector design is done by IAP, Goethe-University, and has been adapted to the final magnet design and voltage distributions. The energy section from 5.87 MeV up to 16.6 MeV has been changed to normal conducting CH cavities as in the lower energy part of the injector. For beam adjustment a 5-gap CH cavity rebuncher at 5.87 MeV as well as two doublet magnets forming the new MEBT-2 section between CH7 and CH8 have been added. Starting parameters for the RF simulations have been given by beam dynamics results calculated with LORASR. RF simulations of these structures consisting of flatness and tuning optimizations will be presented within this contribution.
