  GANIL is presently extending its experimental facility with the new SPIRAL2 project. It is based on a multi-beam Superconducting Linac Driver delivering 5 mA deuterons up to 40 MeV and 1 mA heavy ions up to 14.5 MeV/u. Several domains of research in nuclear physics at the limits of stability will be covered by this new accelerator. SPIRAL2 construction has two phases. SPIRAL2 phase 1 includes the superconducting accelerator driver, and the construction of the two research areas where the accelerated protons and deuterons will generate extremely intense neutron beams for fundamental physics experiments and numerous applications. SPIRAL2 will also accelerate stable heavy ion beams of very high intensity. The phase2 includes the RIB production building and links to the existing GANIL accelerator complex for RIB post acceleration. The Superconducting Linac incorporates many innovative developments of the Quarter-Wave resonators and their associated cryogenic and RF systems. The installation of the SPIRAL2 accelerator at GANIL has started. Status of the Spiral 2 SRF linac will be presented, focusing on the various SRF challenges met by this project and how/what solutions were chosen.

  Assembly and tests of the SPIRAL2 superconducting linac's cryomodules at CEA/Saclay and IPN/Orsay have now reached cruising speed after having faced a series of problems, among them contamination. 19 cryomodules are composing the whole Linac and IPN Orsay is in charge of the 7 cryomodules B, housing two 88MHz, beta 0.12 Quarter-Wave Resonators. Two cryomodules have been successfully assembled and tested up to the nominal gradient of 6.5 MV/m for all cavities with also total cryogenic losses under specifications. One of them is fully qualified and has been already delivered to GANIL. The second one showed misalignment on one cavity which could lead to partial disassembly. This paper will present the results of those cryomodules tests as well as the status of the remaining ones.

  Six crymodules are ready to be installed in the SPIRAL 2 LINAC. We present here the protocols used for the preparation and for the RF conditioning of the couplers and the obtained results.
