Abstract

The report considers the research undertaken to implement repetitive pulsed power technique based on the plasma opening switch (POS) for industrial technology requiring high dose rate irradiation. It considers the results of the research undertaken at 100 kW level to optimize existing POS-using accelerator RS-20 created in Russia and to extend this technique for the parameters required for technology. The new schemes for the further development of this technology for higher power levels are proposed from the analysis
