SuSI ion source, a 3rd generation fully superconducting ECR ion source is now used for injection into the Coupled Cyclotron Facility since September 2009. Initial performances during the commissioning of SuSI were mainly limited by the microwave power available from a single 18 GHz microwave amplifier, especially for the production of heavier ion beams. The Injection of SuSI was modified to add a second 18 GHz amplifier, to reach a maximum of 3.0 kW of RF power inside the plasma chamber. Production of heavy ion beams, such as Kr¹⁴⁺, Bi³⁰⁺ and U³³⁺ is reported, to demonstrate the performance of SuSI. Additional studies were made with various ion source parameters to optimize the beam intensity within a normalized emittance of 0.9pi.mm.mrad as needed for the FRIB project and will be reported in this paper.

Once operational, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will open the possibility to gain key understanding in nuclear science and in particular regarding the properties of nuclei far from the valley of stability or the nuclear processes in the universe. In addition it will also allow experimenters to test fundamental symmetries. The production of rare isotopes with FRIB will be achieved, using a heavy ion driver linac that will accelerate a stable isotope beam to 200 MeV/u and deliver it on a fragmentation target. FRIB aims to reach a primary beam power of 400 kW for light to heavy elements up to Uranium. To meet the intensity requirement two high performance ECR ion sources operating at 28 GHz will be used to produce high intensity of medium to high charge state ion beams. Plans regarding initial beam production with the ECR ion sources and beam transport through the front end will be discussed.

The fully superconducting 28-GHz VENUS ECR ion source serves as prototype injector for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) project at Michigan State University (MSU) as well as injector ion source for the 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). As such the source has produced many record beams of high charge state as well as high-intensity, medium charge state ions. As the FRIB project has now entered the preliminary design phase, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is involved in the design of two new VENUS-like ECR injector ion sources for the FRIB facility. This paper will review the requirements for the FRIB injector, and present VENUS cryostat design changes which will allow installation on a 100 kV platform. In addition, a possible future upgrade path for the FRIB injector using an advanced Nb3Sn magnet structure is described. In 2008, at LBNL the VENUS ECR ion source experienced a major setback when one of the sextupole leads evaporated during a quench caused by a low liquid helium level in the cryostat. The repair process and the long reconstruction effort as well as the status of the reinstallation will be described.
