We are developing a compact X-ray source for Nondestractive Testing (NDT) system. We aim to develop a portable X-ray NDT system by 950 keV X-band linac to realize in-site inspection. Our system has 20 kV electron gun, and accelerate electron beam to 950 keV with 9.4 GHz X-band linac. RF source of this system is 250kW magnetron. Our target spot size and spatial resolution are 1mm. We adopted APS (Alternative Periodic Structure) tube of pi/2 mode for easy manufacturing. It is difficult to realize a high-shunt-impedance for low-energy-cells, which attributes to manufacturing problems. Instead, we use three pi-mode cavities there. Further, we choose the low power magnetron for small cooling system and the low voltage electron gun for small power supply. For the stability of the X-ray yield the system include the Auto Frequency Control (AFC), which detect and tune the frequency shift at the magnetron. We have also performed X-ray generation calculation by the Monte Carlo code of GEANT and EGS to confirm the X-ray source size. We are going to construct the whole system and verify it experimentally. Updated results are presented at the spot.
