  The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) aims to provide an accelerator-based, D-Li neutron source to produce high energy neutrons at sufficient intensity and irradiation volume for DEMO materials qualification. Part of the Broader Approach (BA) agreement between Japan and EURATOM, the goal of the IFMIF/EVEDA project is to work on the engineering design of IFMIF and to validate the main technological challenges which, among a wide diversity of hardware includes the LIPAC (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator), a 125 mA CW deuteron accelerator up to 9 MeV mainly designed and manufactured in Europe. The aim of this paper is to address the engineering issues of the MEBT and SRF linac related to assembly and Integration at LIPAc facility, focusing in the seismic analysis of the beamlines to ensure the robustness of the equipment and the alignment activities with the cutting edge technology performed in Europe before sending the components to Rokkasho. These activities are essential before starting the installation process of the MEBT in the first half of 2016, and to initiate the assembly and integration of the SRF Linac cryomodule in the next phase.

  The LIPAc accelerator aims to operate 125 mA/CW deuteron beam at 9 MeV to validate IFMIF's accelerators that will operate in CW 125 mA at 40 MeV. The different subsystems of LIPAc have been designed and constructed mainly by European labs and are being installed and commissioned in Rokkasho Fusion Center. The 2.45 GHz ECR injector developed by CEA-Saclay is designed to deliver 140 mA/100 keV CW D+ beam with 99% gas fraction ratio. Its LEBT presents a dual solenoid focusing system to transport and match the beam into the RFQ. Its commissioning continues in 2016 in parallel with the RFQ installation. The normalized RMS emittance at the RFQ injection cone is to be within 0.25π mm·mrad to allow 96% transmission through the 9.81 m long RFQ. In order to avoid activation during commissioning, an equal perveance H+ beam of half current and half energy as nominal with deuterons is used. In this article, the commissioning results with 110 mA/100 keV D+ beam and 55 mA/50 keV H+ beam are first reported.

  The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator, the high intensity deuteron linac compact demonstrator of the IFMIF machine, is in an advanced installation phase at BA site (Rokkasho, Japan), within a European-Japan collaboration coordinated respectively by F4E and JAEA. The RFQ (5 Mev, 130 mA) is an Italian in-kind contribution under the responsibility of INFN. Is it a 9,8 m-long structure made of 18 modules, pre-assembled in three parts. The various aspects of the RFQ integration inside the LIPAc are presented here, with details about the various functional services of the RFQ, the different interfaces with other sub-components of the linac and with the building and the structural validation through the seismic analysis. Some peculiar aspects related to the installation of the RFQ are also detailed (i.e. the handling tooling, precise positioning jigs).
