This paper describes the development progress of high current superconducting
RF linacs in Los Alamos, performed to support a design of the linac for the APT
(Accelerator Production of Tritium) Project. The APT linac design includes a CW
superconducting RF high energy section, spanning an energy range of 211 to 1030
MeV, and operating at a frequency of 700 MHz with two constant beta sections
(beta of 0.64 and 0.82). In the last two years, we have progressed towards
build a cryomodule with beta of 0.64. We completed the designs of the 5 cell
superconducting cavities and the 210 kW power couplers. We are scheduled to
begin assembly of the cryomodule in September 2000. In this paper, we present
an overview of the status of our development efforts and a report on the
results of the cavity and coupler test program.Comment: LINAC2000 THD1
