Description
The Spallation Neutron Source accelerator systems consist of a ~1GeV H-, pulsed, superconducting Linac, with ~1000 turn H- injection stripping accumulator ring and single-turn extraction to a Hg target. It has operated recently for extended periods at ~1MW with ~ 90% availability. The approach to reliable operation at the SNS will be discussed including RAMI Modeling, Management Information Systems, Metrics, Configuration Control, Work Control and the Spares Policy.
