  In the framework of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), which consists of two high power accelerator drivers, each delivering a 125 mA deuteron beam at 40 MeV in CW, an accelerator prototype is presently under design and realization for the first phase of the project. This accelerator includes a SRF Linac, which is designed for the transportation and focalization of the deuteron beam up to 9 MeV. This SRF Linac is a large cryomodule of ~6 m long, working at 4.4 K and at the frequency of 175 MHz in continuous wave. It is mainly composed of 8 low-beta HWRs, 8 Solenoid Packages and 8 RF Power Couplers. This paper focuses on the recent developments and changes made on the SRF Linac design: following the abandon of the HWR frequency tuning system, initially based on a plunger located inside the central region of the resonator, a new external tuning system has been designed, implying a complete redesign of the resonator and consequently impacting the cryomodule lattice. The recent changes in the design are presented in this paper. In addition, cold tests were performed on a HWR prototype and cold tests results of the magnets prototypes are also presented.
