Aiming at regional installation of electron linacs dedicated to production of medical radionuclides, we designed a compact electron linac with beams of 35 MeV and 11.2 kW, into which two 6 MW klystrons supply X-band microwaves. Our downsized linac will provide local hospitals with direct access to Mo-99/Tc-99m, and researchers with new routes to radionuclide-based biological experiments.
