Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in India has taken up the indigenous design & development of high power electron accelerators for industrial, research and cargo-scanning applications. For this purpose, Electron Beam Centre (EBC) has been set up at Navi Mumbai, India. Pulsed RF Linacs, with on-axis coupled cavity configuration, include the 10 MeV Industrial RF linac, as well as 9 MeV linac and compact 6 MeV linac for cargo-scanning applications. Industrial DC accelerators include a 500 keV Cockroft-Walton machine and 3 MeV Dynamitron. Several radiation processing applications, such as material modification, food preservation, flue-gas treatment, etc. have been demonstrated using these accelerators. Cargo-scanning linacs have been successfully commissioned and are being characterized for the required x-ray output. A 30 MeV RF Linac, for research applications, such as shielding studies and n-ToF experiments, is being designed and developed. For ADS studies, a 100 MeV, 100 kW RF Linac system is proposed. This paper presents the details of the design of these accelerators, their development, current status and utilization for various applications.
