Abstract :
The results of an analysis of operations data from the 1996 run-cycle of the LANSCE accelerator complex are presented. Frequency and history of operational events including system and component failures which affect beam availability have been tracked. Some of the significant downtime incidents will be described and analyzed in detail. These results will be used to improve future operations and beam availability
