【 摘 要 】

This report describes the present status of the five low-energy Linac 200-MHz RF stations with regard to availability and reliability of major components. An attempt has been made to describe possible solutions (or non-solutions) and to indicate some of the complexity and interplay between those solutions. For the problem at hand, the discontinuance of this one particular tube, an acceptable solution plan must be identified and designed in detail in the near future. As explained herein, the time scale for implementing a solution is five years; beyond that time there is considerable risk of finding ourselves with a non-maintainable Linac and no High Energy Physics program at Fermilab.
