Abstract

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project was completed without on-site superconducting RF (SRF) facilities for testing, repair and development. An effort to install the infrastructure and equipment necessary to maintain and repair the superconducting Linac and to support power upgrade research and development (R&D) is well underway and for some aspects complete. Installation of a Class10/100/10, 000 cleanroom and outfitting of the test cave with RF, vacuum, controls, personnel protection and cryogenics systems is now complete. These systems were recently operated satisfactorily to test a cryomodule that had been removed from the accelerator and repaired in the cleanroom. A horizontal cryostat, has been fabricated and will be soon commissioned. Equipment for cryomodule assembly and disassembly has been installed and used for cryomodule disassembly. Cavity processing equipment is being designed and installed. This effort is providing both highpower test capability as well as long-term maintenance capabilities.
