The SCSS X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) project is in progress at SPring-8. The SCSS prototype accelerator for VUV-FEL has been constructed and is in operation. The required resolution of the beam position is less than 1um for XFEL (10um for VUV-FEL). A cavity RF-BPM (Radio Frequency Beam Position Monitor) was developed for the SCSS accelerator based on the past experiment in which the position resolution of several 10nm was achieved. In the prototype accelerator, the beam-based calibration method of the RF-BPM was established. An experiment to evaluate the position resolution was also performed, and the preliminary result was obtained to be less than 5um. This result is sufficient for VUV-FEL. The RF-BPM made important contributions to the tuning of the prototype accelerator such as beam optics measurements and VUV-FEL amplification. By using RF-BPM data, for example, the envelope of the beam trajectory was visualized and the beam was straightly passed through undulators. As a result, VUV-FEL amplification was observed in the wavelength region of 40-60nm.
