During the past decades, large-scale national neutron sources are developed in Asia, Europe, and USA. Complementing such efforts, compact hadron beam complexes and neutron sources intended for universities and industrial institutes are proposed and established. Responding to the demands in China for multidisciplinary researches and applications using pulsed neutrons and protons, hadron therapy and radiography, and accelerator-driven sub-critical reactor systems (ADS) for nuclear waste transmutation, we here propose a compact yet expandable accelerator complex based on a proton source, a 3 MeV RFQ linac, and a 22 MeV DTL linac. A Be target with solid methane and room-temperature water moderators serve 6 neutron stations for imaging/radiography, irradiation, SANS, engineering powder diffraction, instrumentation, and therapy. The proton platform serves multiple stations for bio-applications, fuel cell and nano-applications, and space irradiation and detection. A rapid cycling synchrotron subsequently accelerates the beam to up to 300 MeV for proton therapy and radiography. Following the DTL linac with a superconducting RF linac and a sub-critical reactor offers an ADS test facility.
