Description

The reliability of Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) 805MHz klystrons used for powering the CCL will be examined and data presented on service hours, post re-build performance and failure points. Reliability and performance of today’s klystrons will be compared with historical data and our current evaluation process will be discussed. Foreseeable problems with current capabilities will be discussed and possible solutions for improving LANSCE CCL will be examined.
