TUPOTK057 | Innovative Magnetron Power Sources for Superconducting RF (SRF) Accelerators | 1348 |

Funding: Work supported by DOE SBIR grant # DE-SC0022484 A magnetron suitable for 1497 MHz klystron replacements at Jefferson Lab will be constructed and tested with our novel patented subcritical voltage operation methods to drive an SRF cavity. The critical areas of magnetron manufacturing and design affecting life-cycle costs that will be modeled for improvement include: Qext, filaments, magnetic field, vane design, and novel control of outgassing. The most immediate benefit of this project is to make SRF accelerator projects more affordable for NP and other users of SRF Linacs. One of the most attractive commercial applications for SRF accelerators is to drive subcritical nuclear reactors to burn Light Water Reactor Spent Nuclear Fuel (LWR SNF). A 1 GeV proton beam hitting an internal uranium spallation neutron target can produce over 30 neutrons for each incident proton to allow the reactor to operate far below criticality to generate electricity or process heat while reducing high-level waste disposal costs. This commercial application has the additional attribute of addressing climate change. |

TUPOTK058 | Development and Testing of High Power CW 1497 MHz Magnetron | 1351 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by DOE NP STTR grant DE-SC0013203 We have designed, built, and tested a new magnetron tube that generates RF power at 1497 MHz. In the tests so far, the tube has produced CW 9 kW RF power, where the measured power is limited by the test equipment. The final goal is to use it to power superconducting (SC) cavities. |
