	An accelerator-based BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) facility is now under construction and the entire system including the patient treatment system will be installed in the Ibaraki Medical Center for Advanced Neutron Therapy (tentative name). The linac specification is 8 MeV with 10 mA of average current (80 kW) with a duty factor of 20%. The linac is composed of a 3-MeV RFQ and a drift-tube linac and can accelerate a peak current of 50 mA up to 8-MeV. The neutron producing target is a 0.5 mm thick beryllium disk 150 mm in diameter which is formed on a heat sink plate. The material components used in the neutron moderator system, including the target, should be selected to have a reduced residual radio-activity. Special attention should be paid to mitigate the swelling of target materials due to hydrogen implantation as well. The development of an accelerator-based BNCT suited for practical application requires input from a wide spread of technical specialties. To obtain the needed breath and strength, we have organized our team with contributing members from diverse institutes and companies. The research and development activities of this integrated team will be presented.

	A design work of the present SPring-8 storage ring is in progress to improve its performance. The linear optics has been changed to reduce the natural emittance below the nominal of 3.4 nmrad at 8 GeV, and the nonlinear optics has been optimized with a genetic algorithm to suppress the amplitude-dependent tune shifts and to enlarge the dynamic aperture. As a preliminary study, the optics with the natural emittance of 2.4 nmrad at 8 GeV has been examined, theoretically and experimentally. In this optics, 1.5 times higher brilliance for 10 keV photons than the present can theoretically be expected for the standard undulator beamline. The improved optics design and its beam performance will be presented in detail. In this presentation, a optics for a future upgrade of the SPring-8 (SPring-8 II) will not be discussed, which is a full-scale major lattice modification, while the method we used in optimizing the nonlinear optics can also be adopted to the SPring-8 II.

	A feasibility of a very low-emittance storage ring has been studied for an upgrade project, SPring-8 II. Its ultimate goal is to provide a superior brilliance for 0.5 ~ 100 keV photons. A sextupole bend lattice with the natural emittance of 70 pmrad at 6 GeV has been examined as the first candidate. The nonlinear optics has been optimized to enlarge the dynamic aperture by correcting nonlinear resonances based on an isolated resonance Hamiltonian with thick lens approximation, and by non-interleaved sextupole method. A genetic algorithm, which has been examined to improve the performance of the present SPring-8, will be adopted for detailed optimization of the tunes and sextupole strength to adjust the non-interleaved scheme and to correct higher order resonances. The correction scheme of nonlinear optics and its results will be presented in detail. Y. Shimosaki et al., IPAC’11, TUOAB01, p. 942 (2011). **Y.
