To optimize the operational costs of such accelerators the availability requirements are becoming more and more challenging. These requirements are even more stringent in the case of Accelerator Driven systems (ADS). As an example, for the MYRRHA (Multipurpose Hybrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications) ADS demonstrator, the actual availability limit is set to a maximum of 10 beam interruptions (longer than 3 seconds) over a 3-month operating cycle. For this purpose, the accelerator design is based on a redundant and fault-tolerant scheme to enable rapid mitigation of a cavity failure. The adopted strategy is to apply for local compensation: a failed cavity is compensated by several neighboring cavities. Beam dynamics studies and method developments to apply such a failure compensation scheme are here reviewed. First simulation results for superconducting linac retuning and potential future improvements will be discussed.
