The MYRRHA project aims at building an Accelerator Driven System demonstrator, which consists of two injectors and a superconducting linac. The proton beam from the first injector accelerated up to 17 MeV goes to the linac (600 MeV) through a Medium Energy Beam Transfer line (MEBT). Whereas in the meantime, the beam from the second injector is sent to a beam dump. In case of failure in the first injector, the beam of the awaiting injector is sent to the linac. A switching magnet located at the junction of the two injection lines performs this beam switch in less than 1.5 seconds. A magnetic design and a mechanical structure of this magnet proposed to the MYRRHA project are presented.

  The goal of the MYRRHA project is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of transmutation in a 100 MW Accelerator Driven System (ADS) by building a new flexible irradiation complex at Mol (Belgium). The MYRRHA facility requires a 600 MeV accelerator delivering a maximum proton current of 4 mA in continuous wave operation, with an additional requirement for exceptional reliability. Supported by SCK•CEN and the Belgian federal government the project has entered in its phase I: this includes the development and the construction of the linac first part, up to 100 MeV. We here review the MINERVA linac vacuum system modelling studies that enabled to validate the choice of materials and vacuum equipment. The strengths and weaknesses of the vacuum design, highlighted by the models, will be discussed as well as the required improvements.
