A 70 MeV H⁻ cyclotron commercially available for medical isotope production will be used as an ISOL driver for rare isotope science project in Korea. The cyclotron is scheduled to be installed in 2021 for beam commissioning in the following year. In fact the building to house the cyclotron is currently almost complete so that the cyclotron system newly contracted needs to fit into the existing building, which brings some challenges in equipment installation and adaptation to utilities. Two beam lines to transport high-current proton beams into ISOL targets have been designed and are described along with other issues associated with the interface of the ISOL system., Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Cyclotrons and their Applications, Cyclotrons2019, Cape Town, South Africa

Construction of the RAON heavy ion accelerator facility is in-progress in Korea. The driver linac is a superconducting linac with 200 MeV/u for uranium beam and 400 kW beam power. Prototyping of major components and their tests are proceeding including superconducting cavities, superconducting magnets and cryomodules. December 2016, the RFQ accelerated oxygen beam. Status report of the RAON accelerator systems is presented., Proceedings of the 18th Int. Conf. on RF Superconductivity, SRF2017, Lanzhou, China

An ISOL system has been developed for providing neutron-rich RI beam to multi-disciplinary users by Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP) of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Korea. The ISOL system is composed of proton driver, target/ion source station, mass separator, charge breeder, and A/q separator. A selected beam of interest is then injected into re-accelerator, which is a superconducting linac. A 70-MeV proton cyclotron was chosen as the proton driver to induce direct fission of UCx target. The final goal of beam power on target is 70 kW, which will be achieved gradually from 10 kW during post-RISP. Commercial H⁻ compact cyclotrons and high-intensity separated cyclotrons have been considered for its extension of multi-purpose uses. In this paper, the specifications of the cyclotrons along with concerned issues and the status of our procurement plan will be presented., Proceedings of the 21st Int.
