It was proposed to change from a 2-tunnel scheme in the ILC Reference Design Report to a single tunnel plan by the GDE, Global Design Effort in order to reduce the construction cost. Two proposals of RF source have been presented to realize this scheme. One is 'Klystron Cluster System', which moves every RF source related components from the underground tunnel to the above ground buildings. This would require that the surface topology be rather flat. Another one is the 'Distributed RF System', which does not greatly increase the above ground facilities, and instead every accelerator components are put into a single main tunnel. Instead of powering with large-scale klystrons, downsized modules are distributed throughout. We propose to make a single accelerator tunnel for active accelerator components based on the latter RF system and a sub-tunnel, in which cooling water piping is installed. The sub-tunnel can also be used for the emergency escape, underground water drainage, maintenance work and etc. This scheme fits to the Japanese mountainous site.

Optical inspections on superconducting cavities seem to become familiar to those who are involved in the cavity fabrications. Further improvements on the Kyoto Camera have been carried out these years together with further investigation technique developments, such as high density T-map or eddy current scan. Improvements on Kyoto Camera includes change of EL sheets to LEDs, which raised the brightness 10 times and the lifetime very long as known well. The resolution was also increased. The high density T-map will help to locate a hot spot during the vertical tests and the eddy current scan will be useful for screening of bare Nb sheets with possible defects. These progresses will be reported.
