All Accelerator‐Driven Transmutation apaplications require very large amounts of RF Power. One version of a Plutonium burning system requires an 800‐MeV, 80‐mA, proton accelerator running at 100% duty factor. This accelerator requires approximately 110−MW of continuous RF power if one assumes only 10% reserve power for control of the accelerator fields. This contrasts with the usual assumption that the RF controls may need as much as 15 to 20% of reserve power. In this paper, we will describe the issues and requirements, and outline a plan for RF generator development to meet the needs of the Accelerator‐Driven Transmutation Technologies. The key issues which will be discussed include: operating efficiency, operating linearity, effect on the input power grid, bandwidth, gain, reliability, operating voltage, and operating current. ©American Institute of Physics 1995
