Chinese government has approved the CIADS project, which aims to demonstrate the nuclear waste transmutation technology. The CIADS driver accelerator is designed to be a 600MeV, 10mA CW operation superconducting linac. The main issue of such high power large-scale facility is the construction cost and beam loss control. For superconducting linac, the main cost is spent on the superconducting cavity and RF amplifier system. The improvement of acceleration efficiency of cavity and utilization of RF amplifiers will be useful for the cost saving. The other beam physics issues including lattice design, error simulation and adapted compensation strategy are also studied. In the talk, the cost optimization as well as beam physics considerations will be presented.
