We have operated the accelerator system which consists of a tandem accelerator and a synchrotron since the completion of the construction and beam commissioning at the Wakasa-wan Energy Research Center, Tsuruga, Japan in 2000. The acceleration voltage of the tandem accelerator amounts to 5 MV and is generated by the Dynamitron-type cascade voltage doubler rectifier. The beam from the tandem accelerator is transported to the MeV-ion experimental area for the irradiation to the industrial or biological material and for the ion beam analysis. The tandem beam is also injected to the 200 MeV proton synchrotron. The synchrotron beam has been used for the high energy irradiation and the cancer therapy. The tandem accelerator is used for a lot of purposes including cancer therapy, therefore, stable operation of the system and efficient sharing of the operation duration are required. Developments of the accelerator are presented putting a stress on the stable and efficient operation of the system in this paper.
