SUPER-POWER KLYSTRON TUBE-TEST FACILITY
Abstract
During the quarter Engineering has completed the design of system details associated with integration and installation of the system. The system layout of the klystron tank has continued. The integration of all system assemblies for on site installation has neared completion. The test program has started and has included the evaluation of two Machlett switch tubes under both high voltage and pulsed conditions. Information has been obtained that will expedite the design the final modulator as well as the design of the remaining equipment involving high voltage insulation problems. Additional effort has been placed on the design of the oil-filled high-voltage transmission line. This information will be submitted to Varian for approval. The interim modulator pulse transformers are being fabricated. The pulse transformer tank was delivered. The core for the second transformer has not been received. It is scheduled for delivery early in the next quarter. Production Engineering effort has been placed on completion of the mechanical details associated with the interim modulator, control console, input power control unit and pulse transformer tank. The klystron tank and system layout are under design. The preliminary design of the high-voltage transmission line has been completed. Production effort was delayed due to lack of a construction site and component deliveries. The interim modulator, the Switch-Tube-Test-Supply, and the switch tube and high voltage evaluation tests were, however, ahead of schedule. A major portion of the system subassemblies have been completed. There was a continuing effort on the control console. The interim modulator items, with the exception of the trigger generator, are available for installation in the interim modulator cabinet. The latter was ordered late in the quarter The interim modulator switch tube assembly is near completion.
