  In Japan compact accelerator-driven neutron sources were built under activity of JCANS (Japan Collaboration on Accelerator-driven Neutron Sources). Now, there are 4 accelerator-driven neutron sources used for neutron science; HUNS (Hokkaido University Neutron Source), KUANS (Kyoto University Accelerator-driven Neutron Source), RANS (RIKEN Accelerator-driven Neutron Source), and NUANS (Nagoya University Accelerator-driven Neutron Source). HUNS has been used for neutron science for a long time and still actively used for imaging, small angle scattering, device development and so on. KUANS has been proved to be useful for imaging and new development is underway for reflectometry. RANS is mainly devoted to industrial ap plications and used for imaging now. NUANS is now under construction for test facility for cancer therapy (BNCT). These activity is also supported by UCANS (Union of Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Sources). Here, we present our overall activity of JCANS.
