  At the Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) of Idaho State University, for the CW photon tagging facility, we have been developing a compact CW accelerator, which is based on a 2450 MHz CW normal conducting 6.5 cell RF photoinjector and a microtron. By shooting a Nd:YLF CW gun driving laser on the Cs:GaAs or Cs2Te cathode, we can generate electron bunches in the CW mode with the maximum repetition rate of 350 MHz. Since the CW injector can deliver a high quality electron beams with a high peak current and a low emittance, we can also use the CW RF photoinjector for the CW XFEL or ERL facilities. In this paper, we describe design concepts, layout, RF gun cavity, boosting linac structures, RF system and its distribution, gun driving laser system, and simulation results of the CW normal conducting RF photoinjector. In addition, we also describe its expected performance as a CW injector for the CW XFEL or ERL facilities.
