'LUE200' - 200 MeV electron linac is being created at JINR as a driver of the pulsed neutron source 'IREN' [1]. The special full scale facilities for testing of the main systems LUE-200 (FSTF) are using at JINR, BINP, MEPhI and YerPhI [2]. The verification of the linac accelerating system is providing at the VEPP-5 Preinjector constructed at BINP [3]. The accelerating system of LUE200 includes two S-band (2856 MHz) accelerating sections of 3 m long. The sections are connected with modulator based one 5045 klystron (SLAC production). There are SLED-systems for the multiplying of the pulse RF power. The first results of the accelerating system test at the VEPP-5 Preinjector are presented. The electron beam energy up to 92 MeV and consequently average rate of acceleration of the electron beam more than 30 MeV/m were achieved after acceleration at one section.
