  TRI­UMF lab­o­ra­tory is cur­rently in a phase of the con­struc­tion of a su­per­con­duct­ing 50 MeV 10 mA cw elec­tron LINAC to drive photo-fis­sion based rare ra­dioac­tive iso­tope beam (RIB) pro­duc­tion. The pro­ject im­poses cer­tain tech­ni­cal chal­lenges on var­i­ous ac­cel­er­a­tor sys­tems in­clud­ing beam di­ag­nos­tics. In the first place these are a high beam power and strongly vary­ing op­er­at­ing modes rang­ing from mi­crosec­ond beam pulses to the cw regime. Di­ag­nos­tics de­vel­op­ment in­ter­leaves with the con­struc­tion of the di­ag­nos­tics in­stru­men­ta­tion re­quired for the test fa­cil­ity which de­liv­ered the first beam in Fall of 2011. The paper re­ports the pre­sent sta­tus of var­i­ous di­ag­nos­tics sys­tems along with mea­sure­ment re­sults ob­tained at the test fa­cil­ity.
