The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) will generate a neutron irradiation field with the spectrum simulating the fusion D-T neutrons (14 MeV) to qualify suitable materials for fusion power plants. The IFMIF accelerator facility provides two CW / 40 MeV / 125 mA deuteron beams to the IFMIF Lithium target facility. In the Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities phase, the concept of IFMIF is validated with a single CW / 9 MeV / 125 mA deuteron accelerator prototype under construction in JAEA/Rokkasho. The injector part has been designed, constructed and successfully tested by CEA/Saclay. The ECR ion source produces a deuteron beam of 140 mA at 100 keV. In spring 2013, the injector will be delivered and re-installed on the Rokkasho site. This paper will focus on the detailed plan of the injector’s re-assembly as well as on the re-commissioning. Further possible improvements are discussed in order to achieve reliable operation. | ||
