Funding: Work supported by BSA DOE, Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 An ampere class 20 MeV superconducting Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) is under commissioning at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for testing concepts for high-energy electron cooling and electron-ion colliders. This ERL will be used as a test bed to study issues relevant for very high current ERLs. High repetition rate (9.5 MHz), CW operation and high performance of electron beam with some additional components make this ERL an excellent driver for high power coherent THz radiation source*. We discuss potential use of BNL ERL as a source of THz radiation and results of the beam dynamics simulation. We present the status and commissioning progress of the ERL. *Ilan Ben-Zvi. et al.
