We have developed a conceptual design for an industrial-use kilowatt UV and IR FEL driven by a recirculating, energy-recovering 200 MeV, 1- 5 mA superconducting rf (SRF) electron accelerator. In this paper we describe the accelerator design of this FEL. The accelerator consists of a 10 MeV injector, a 96 MeV SRF linac with a two-pass transport which accelerates the beam to 200 MeV, followed by energy-recovery deceleration through two passes to the dump. Technical challenges include high-intensity injector development, multi-pass energy- recovery operation, SRF modifications and control for FEL operation, development of tuneable, nearly-isochronous, large-acceptance transports, and matching of the beam to the FEL wiggler. An overview of the accelerator design is presented. 9 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
