In July 2009 TRIUMF, in collaboration with the University of Victoria and other partners, was awarded Canadian federal government funds for the construction of an electron linear accelerator (e-linac) in support of its expanding rare isotope beam (RIB) program. The project anticipates Provincial funds for the construction of buildings to be announced in June 2010. TRIUMF has embarked on the detailed design for the 10 MeV Injector cryomodule and the first of two 20 MeV Accelerator cryomodules (ACMs), all rated up to 10 mA. The project first stage, ICM and ACM1, providing 25 MeV 4 mA is planned to be completed in November 2013. The injector is being fast tracked in a collaboration with the VECC in Kolkata, India. This paper gives an overview of the facility layout, and accelerator design progress including beam dynamics and cryomodule concept.

The Electron Model for Many Applications (EMMA) will be the World's first non-scaling FFAG and is under construction at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory in the UK. Construction is due for completion in March 2010 and will be followed by commissioning with beam and a detailed experimental programme to study the functioning of this type of accelerator. This paper will give an overview of the motivation for the project and describe the EMMA design and hardware. The first results from commissioning will be presented in a separate paper.
