  We designed one 100MeV/100kW electron linear accelerator for NSC KIPT, which will be used to drive a neutron source on the base of subcritical assembly. Beam dynamics studies has been conducted to reach the design requirement (E=100MeV, P=100kW, dE/E<1% for 99% particles). In this paper, we will present the progress of the design and dynamics simulation results. For high intensity and long beam pulse linear accelerators, BBU effect is one big issue; special care has been taken in the accelerating structure design. To satisfy the energy spread requirement at the linac exit, the particles with large energy difference from the synchronous particle should be eliminated at low energy stage to ease the design of the collimation system and radiation shielding. A dispersion free chicane with 4 bending magnets is introduced at the downstream of the 1st accelerating section; the unwanted particles will be collimated there.

  In NSC KIPT, Kharkov, Ukraine, a neutron source on the base of subcritical assembly driven by 100 MeV/100 kW electron linear accelerator is under design and development. To provide neutron flux value of about 1013 neutron/s the electron linear accelerator with 100 MeV beam and average beam power of 100 kW will be used. Construction and manufacture of the linear accelerator of such high beam intensity with low emittance and beam losses is a challenging task. In the report the project of the electron linear accelerator of the required beam energy and intensity is described. The accelerator structure and main technical solutions are presented. To overcome the BBU effect of this high average beam current, several effective measures are adopt, such as using constant gradient structure to spread the HOMs frequencies different cells, larger inner radius and shorter section length make the higher group velocity and optimize the structure geometry to keep the shunt impedance as good as possible. After the beam bunching system, a chicane is followed to chopper the beam to avoid the beam lost in the higher energy part.
