TRIUMF, in collaboration with university partners, proposes to construct a megawatt-class electron linear accelerator (e-linac) as a driver for U(gamma,f) of actinide targets with rates up to 1013 - 1014 fissions/sec and for (gamma,p)8Li for materials science. The particular emphasis would be on neutron-rich species. The 50 MeV, 10 mA, c.w. linac is based on super-conducting radio-frequency (SRF) technology at 1.3 GHz. Though high power/current electron linacs are a mature technology proposed elsewhere for applications ranging from 4th generation light-sources to TeV-scale linear colliders, TRIUMF is in the vanguard for applying this technology to the copious production of isotopes for studies of (i) nuclear structure and astrophysics; and (ii) beta-NMR for materials science.
