Abstract
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator [1] has operated at 1 MW for about one year, as a driver for a pulsed neutron source. This represents the highest pulsed power operational level for a proton accelerator. This paper discusses the experiences encountered in the four year operational period, compared to expectations. The superconducting linac has shown some surprises, yet is capable of delivering the required beam to the storage Ring. On the other hand the Ring is operated close to expectations.
