	In Tokyo University, there is a plan of development of electron linac neutron source because the research reactor “Yayoi” was decommissioned and a new neutron source is required. This linac will be introduced in the core of the reactor, so measurement of nuclear fuel materials can be expected. The application of this research is to measure more accurate nuclear data of some atomic fuel materials. It is necessary for analyzing debris in Fukushima 1st nuclear power plant. 30 MeV X-band linac is used and neutrons are generated by interactions between bremsstrahlung x-rays and materials. In this research, the thermal electron gun, the buncher and the target for the linac are optimized for generating as many neutrons as possible. Uranium can be used as target materials, so high neutron flux was gained from the calculation.
