Abstract
The Chalk River superconducting cyclotron, when injected with beam from the Chalk River 13 MV tandem Van der Graaff accelerator, will accelerate all ions from lithium (to 50 MeV/u) to uranium (to 10 MeV/u). Following successful development trials of the cyclotron magnet and rf accelerating system and installation of the magnetic extraction channel, the cyclotron is now assembled in its vault. Commissioning is in progress. Initial operation with beam will be injection of an iodine beam from the tandem and acceleration to 10 MeV/u.
