In this talk we will address maintenance strategy to reach and maintain over time very high beam availability of an accelerator and short time to recover after a beam interruption. Using the example from several facilities we will explain how lessons learned may be very useful for establishing and improving the strategy for predictive maintenance, corrective maintenance for a running facility....

iThemba LABS operates four cyclotrons and three electrostatic accelerators. The age of these accelerators varies from 2 to 34 years. Aging accelerators bring its own unique reliability issues depending on the type and use of the accelerators. When an institute also embarks on a number of new projects to stay relevant in the national and international research communities, with no increase in...
