The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) provides an intense beam of neutrons for scattering experiments. The SNS is comprised of an ion source, a 1 GeV H{sup {minus}} linear accelerator, an accumulator ring, a target for neutron production, and an area for the scattering experiments. The linear accelerator is driven by 52 klystrons operating at 805 MHz, and 3 klystrons operating at 402.5 MHz. A prototype of the 805 MHz klystron is being developed at Litton and is the subject of this paper. The klystron will produce 2.5 MW of peak power at 10% duty. The pulse width is 1.7 msec and the efficiency is specified at a minimum of 55%. Testing is scheduled to begin in April, with delivery to Los Alamos in June. The design of the klystron and available test results will be presented.
