  IHEP, China is constructing a 100 MeV / 100 kW electron linac for NSC KIPT, Ukraine. This linac will be used as the driver of a neutron source based on a subcritical assembly. In 2012, the injector part of the linac was pre-installed as a testing facility in the experimental hall #2 of IHEP. The injector beam and key hardware testing results were satisfying. Recently, the injector testing facility was disassembled and all of the components for the whole linac have been shipped to Ukraine from China by ocean shipping. The installation of the whole machine in KIPT will be started in June. The progress on the construction are reported, injector beam and key hardware testing results are presented.

  In NSC KIPT, Kharkov, Ukraine a neutron source based on a subcritical assembly driven by a 100MeV/100kW electron linear accelerator will be constructed. This neutron source is an USA (ANL)-Ukraine (KIPT) Joint project, and its Accelerator will be designed and constructed by Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), China. The design and construction of such a Accelerator with high average beam current and low beam power losses is a technical challenging task. In the paper, the main accelerator features and current status are under discussion.

  National Science Center “Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology” (NSC KIPT, Kharkov, Ukraine) together with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL, USA) develops the conceptual project of a neutron source based on the sub-critical assembly driven by electron linear accelerator. The main functions of the subcritical assembly are support of the nuclear industry and medical researches. Reactor physics and material researchs will be carried out at the facility. For subcritical assembly design proven techniques and practices are used to enhance its utilization. The goal of the development is to create in Ukraine the experimental basis for neutron research based on safe intensive sources of neutrons. The main facility components are an electron linear accelerator, a system for electron beam transportation from linear accelerator to the target, neutron production target, subcritical assembly, biological shield, neutron channels and auxiliary supporting systems.
