Because of the safer and more reliable mode of operation, a Superconducting Linac is proposed here as the proton beam accelerator which drives a nuclear plant based on the concept of the Energy Amplifier. The accelerator has also high electric power efficiency. An example based on the net generation of 400 MW (electric) is described here. This requires a proton beam energy of 1 GeV with a continuous beam current of 10 mA, corresponding to a beam power of 10 MW
