Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) for nuclear waste transmutation require proton drivers with energies between 600 and 800 MeV and beam currents of several mA for demonstrators and up to 25 mA for large industrial systems. Within the EUROTRANS project a 600 MeV linac has been designed to meet the stringent requirements regarding reliability, availability and extreme low beam losses. The first accelerating section using the novel CH-cavity accelerates the beam to 17 MeV at the injection point into the main linac. The intermediate energy section (17-100 MeV) of the main linac consists of superconducting independently phased spoke-type cavities followed by the high energy section consisting of 704 MHz superconducting elliptical cavities. The paper covers the development of the linac, prototype testing and reliability considerations of the whole EUROTRANS project.
