The MYRRHA (“Multi-purpose Hybrid Research reactor for High-tech Applications”) project aims at the construction of a new flexible fast spectrum research reactor. This reactor will operate as an Accelerator Driven System demonstrator. The criticality will be sustained by an external spallation neutron flux; produced thanks to a 600 MeV high intensity proton beam. This CW beam will be delivered by a superconducting linac which must fulfil very stringent reliability requirements. In this purpose, the accelerator design is based on a redundant and fault-tolerant scheme to enable the rapid mitigation of RF failures. To carry out “real scale” reliability-oriented experiments a prototype of cryomodule was developed by INFN Milano and installed at IPN Orsay. The module holds a 700 MHz 5-cell elliptical cavity (βg = 0.47) equipped with its blade frequency tuner. Several tests were carried out to commission the experimental set-up. We review here the obtained results and the lessons learnt by operating this module, as well as the on-going developments.
