  The 35-MeV Compact Energy Recovery Linac (the Compact ERL or cERL) is under construction at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan. With the Compact ERL, we aim at establishing cutting-edge technologies for the GeV-class ERL-based synchrotron light source. To install the accelerator components of the cERL, we have constructed a shielding room having an area of about 60 m x 20 m. We have then installed a 500-kV DC photocathode gun, a 5-MV superconducting (SC) cryomodule for the injector, a 30-MV SC cryomodule for the main linac, and some of the other components. High-power test on the main SC cryomodule is underway in December, 2012. High-power or high-voltage tests on the injector cryomodule and on the DC gun are planned during January to March, 2013. An injector of the Compact ERL will be commissioned in April, 2013. We report the newest status of its construction.

We have developed a laser Compton scattered gamma-ray source based on a 150-MeV racetrack microtron at Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The microtron equipped with a photocathode RF gun accelerates a single bunch of electrons to collide with a laser pulse from a Nd:YAG laser. We have employed laser pulse compression by stimulated Brillouin scattering to obtain high-flux gamma-rays, > 105 ph/s. The gamma-ray source is a prototype of commercial machine for nuclear security applications, non-destructive detection of nuclear material hidden in a ship cargo. Design and performance of the gamma-ray source are presented.
