Abstract: Dragon-Ⅰ is a linear induction electron accelerator. This facility consists in a 3.6MeV injector, 38 meter beam transport line and 16MeV induction accelerator powered by high voltage generators, including 8 Marx generators and 48 Blumlein lines. This paper describes the physics design, development and experimental results of Dragon- Ⅰ. The key technology is analyzed in the accelerator development, and the design requirements and operation of the major subsystems are presented. The experimental results show Dragon-Ⅰ generates an 18—20MeV, 2.5kA, 70ns electron beam. The X-ray spot size is about 1.2mm and dose level about 0.103 C/kg at 1 meter.
