THPVA146 | Robust Linac Platform for Wide Replacement of Radioactive Sources | 4805 |

Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (awards No. DE-SC-FOA-0011370). To improve public security and prevent the diversion of radioactive material for Radiation Dispersion Devices, development of an inexpensive, portable, easy-to-manufacture linac system is very important. Tubular structure with parallel pairs of rods crossed at 90 degrees suggests as high as 36% inter-cell coupling due to inherent compensation along with still substantial shunt impedance. Simultaneously it offers simplified brazing process and may dramatically simplify tuning of the entire structure. A novel design of a multi-cell, single-section, X-band structure for replacement of Ir192 source is presented. |

THPVA147 | KlyLac Conceptual Design for Borehole Logging | 4808 |
|
||
Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (award No. DE-SC0015721). Linac-based system for borehole logging exploits KlyLac approach combing klystron and linac sharing the same electron beam, vacuum volume, and RF net-work. The conceptual design tailors delivering 3.5-4 MeV electrons within 3.5 inch borehole at ambient temperatures 150 degrees C to replace 137Cs, >1 Ci source used in borehole logging. The linac part is based on a very robust, high group velocity, cm-wave, standing wave accelerating structure. The design concept features i) self-oscillation analog feedback that automatically provides modal stability; ii) ferrite-free isolation of the klystron; and iii) long accelerating section with large (0.3%) frequency separation between adjacent modes; and iv) low-voltage klystron. |
