The RF system for PEFP 20MeV proton linear accelerator is described. The RF system for 3MeV RFQ was already installed and operated to drive the RFQ. The klystron was tested up to 600kW itself and operated up to 350kW routinely. The HPRF dummy load was stabilized with the change of the coolant. Preparation of 20MeV DTL HPRF test has been completed. LCP and PLC system for klystron power supply was already prepared. Voltage fluctuation was measured during klystron test. Voltage control feedback loop seems to be re-adjusted.

KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) has been performing the project named PEFP (proton engineering frontier project). PEFP has been performing the project of a high power proton accelerator. Control system for 20 MeV proton accelerating structure has developed. We use the EPICS(Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) tool kit as a foundation of the control system. EPICS is adopted for control systems which have OPI(OPerator Interface) and IOqlnput Output Controller). We have performed the PEPF control system on SUN workstation host computer. In this paper, we present the vacuum monitor, RFQ, and DTL Turbo pump control system.

양성자가속기연구센터(KOMAC)의 100-MeV 양성자 선형가속기에서 생성된 고에너지 양성자를 사용하여 천연 텅스텐과 핵반응을 일으켰다. 핵반응을 통해 생성된 다양한 핵종으로 부터의 감마선은 HPGe 검출기 감마선 분광시스템을 사용하여 측정하였다. 감마선 표준선원은 에너지 교정 및 검출기의 효율 측정에 사용되었다. 측정된 스펙트럼에서 관찰된 감마선을 분석한 결과 방사성 핵종은 $^{167}Re$, $^{178}Re$, $^{179}Re$, $^{180}Re$, $^{181}Re$, $^{182}Re$, $^{184}Re$, $^{172}Ta$, $^{174}Ta$, $^{178}Ta$, $^{182}Ta$, $^{184}Ta$, $^{175}W$, $^{176}W$, $^{177}W$ 및 $^{179}W$ 으로 총 16 종류의 핵종이 생성되었다. 이 연구의 결과는 미래의 핵융합, 천체 물리학 및 핵의학 응용 분야에 적용될 것으로 생각된다.

KOMAC (KOrea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex) is the 1 Gev, 20 ㎃ proton linac. The superconducting linac for the high energy part acceleration from 100 MeV to 1 GeV is selected as a main candidate. As is well known, the superconducting linac has advantages for high current, high energy acceleration such as a large bore size, short accelerator length, and the RF efficiency. In this energy, the velocity of proton increases from $\beta$=0.87. For the design and fabrication simplicity, the cavity $\beta$ stages are divided into 3 parts. The maximum electric field in the cavity is designed below 20 ㎹/m. In this paper the design concepts and guides for this superconducting linac are introduced.

As the first stage accelerator of the Korea Multipurpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC) 1GeV proton linac, a 350MHZ, cw Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) will be built to produce 20㎃ of 3Mev. High current RFQ with cw operation is a major program in the KOMAC project to understand beam dynamics, engineering design, construction, control and diagnostics techniques. The beam dynamics and the engineering design of RFQ are described and the present status of the KOMAC RFQ project is discussed.

A spent fuel problem has prevented the nuclear power from claiming to be a completely clean energy source. The nuclear transmutation technology to incinerate the long lived radioactive nuclides and produce energy during the incineration process is believed to be one or the best solutions. HYPER(Hybrid Power Extraction Reactor) is the accelerator driven transmutation system which is being developed by KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). Some major feature of HYPER have been developed and employed. On-power fueling concepts are employed to keep system power constant with minimum variation of accelerator power. A hollow cylinder-type metal fuel is designed for the on-line refueling concept. Lead-bismuth(Pb-Bi) is adopted as a coolant and Spallation target material. HYPER is a subcritical reactor which needs an external neutron source. 1GeV proton beam is irradiated to Lead-bismuth(Pb-Bi) target inside HYPER, and spallation neutrons are produced. When proton beams are irradiated, much heat is also deposited in the Pb-Bi target and beam window which separates Pb-Bi and accelerator vacuum. Therfore, an effective cooling is needed for HYPER target. In this paper, we performed the thermal-hydraulic analysis of HYPER target using FLUENT code, and also calculated thermal and mechanical stress of the beam window using ANSYS code.

High-energy proton accelerators continue to be increasingly used in medical, research and industrial settings. However, due to the high energy of protons, a large number of secondary radiation occurs. Among them, neutrons are accompanied by difficulties of shielding due to various energy distribution and permeability. So In this study, we propose a shielding method that can shield neutrons most efficiently by using multiple-shielding material used as a decelerating agent or absorbent as well as a single concrete shielding. The flux of secondary neutrons showed a greater decrease in the flux rate when heavy concrete was used than in the case of ordinary concrete, and the maximum flux reduction was observed at the front position when using multiple shields. Multiple shielding can increase shielding efficiency more than single shielding however, As the thickness of the multiple shielding materials increased, the decline in flux was saturated. The mixture material showed higher shielding results than the polyethylene when using boron carbonate.

양성자 가속기를 이용한 지상 실험에 기초하여 인공위성에서 사용할 마이크로프로세서의 SEE 발생률을 예측하였다. 우주 공간의 하전 입자 분포를 AP8, JPL91 그리고 CREME 모델을 사용하여 추정하고, 양성자 가속기를 통한 실험에서 얻어진 단면적 곡선들을 SEE 발생률 예측에 사용하였다. 약 685 km의 저궤도에 대해 고 경사각과 저 경사각이 고려되었다. 계산 결과는 후보 소자에 대한 SEE 발생률이 저 경사각에서는 수용할만한 것이었지만 고 경사각의 경우에는 최악의 조건에서 문제될 수 있음을 보여준다.
