Abstract

Since the start of neutron production in October of 2006, the average SNS proton beam power level has increased from ∼ 5 kW to over 500 kW. This increase has been realized by increases in the beam current, pulse length and repetition rate. A major concern in the power ramp up has been minimization of uncontrolled beam loss. The beam loss levels, and operational experience with residual activation will be discussed. Also the operational beam availability is discussed.
