N2 - The outstanding feature of the MYRRHA accelerator is the design requirement of Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). The issue of reliability is thus considered the main design challenge, and concerns all the R&D activities. The current R&D program aims to provide a detailed accelerator design, suitable for an ADS demonstrator, with provisions for enhanced reliability. Research activities have been organized to specifically address advanced beam dynamics and error studies, reliability modeling studies, optimization of injector design and prototype cryomodules design and test.
