The ISAC-II superconducting heavy ion linac, commissioned in 2006, consists of twenty quarter wave cavities housed in five cryomodules. An upgrade of the linac is ongoing that will see the addition of twenty more quarter wave cavities in three cryomodules by the end of 2009. The status of the upgrade will be reported.

Solid state amplifiers are being used for linear accelerators at TRIUMF which are either being upgraded or under development. The Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facility at ISAC II which is being upgraded with additional 20 quarter wave superconducting bulk niobium cavities will employ twenty 141 MHz solid state amplifiers. A 650 MHz solid state amplifier for electron gun development and an 1.3 GHz solid state amplifier for characterization of an elliptical superconducting niobium cavity are being used for the 50 MeV electron linac being planned at TRIUMF.
