	Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been proposing an accelerator-driven system (ADS) as a future nuclear system to efficiently reduce the high-level radioactive waste generated at nuclear power plants. As the first step toward the full-scale CW proton linac for the JAEA-ADS, we are now prototyping a low-beta (around 0.2) single-spoke cavity. Because there is no experience in manufacturing superconducting spoke cavities in Japan, prototyping and performance testing of the cavity are essential to ensure the feasibility of the JAEA-ADS. The dimensional parameters of the prototype spoke cavity were optimized to obtain higher cavity performance. The actual cavity fabrication started in 2020. Most of the cavity parts were fabricated in fiscal year 2020 by press-forming and machining. In 2021, we started welding the cavity parts together. After investigating the optimum welding conditions using mock-up test pieces, each cavity part was joined with smooth welding beads. Currently, the cavity’s body section and the beam port sections have been assembled. This paper presents the current status of the JAEA-ADS and it’s cavity prototyping.

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been proposing an accelerator-driven system (ADS) as a future nuclear system to efficiently reduce the high-level radioactive waste generated at nuclear power plants. As the first step toward the full-scale CW proton linac for the JAEA-ADS, we are now prototyping a low-beta (around 0.2) single-spoke cavity. Because there is no experience in manufacturing superconducting spoke cavities in Japan, prototyping and performance testing of the cavity are essential to ensure the feasibility of the JAEA-ADS. The dimensional parameters of the prototype spoke cavity were optimized to obtain higher cavity performance. The actual cavity fabrication started in 2020. Most of the cavity parts were fabricated in fiscal year 2020 by press-forming and machining. In 2021, we started welding the cavity parts together. After investigating the optimum welding conditions using mock-up test pieces, each cavity part was joined with smooth welding beads. Currently, the cavity’s body section and the beam port sections have been assembled. This paper presents the current status of the JAEA-ADS and it’s cavity prototyping.
