Iso­topes pro­duced at Los Alamos Na­tional Lab­o­ra­tory (LANL) are sav­ing lives, ad­vanc­ing cut­ting-edge re­search, and help­ing to ad­dress na­tional se­cu­rity ques­tions. For the past two years LANL's Ac­cel­er­a­tor Op­er­a­tions & Tech­nol­ogy Di­vi­sion has ex­e­cuted a $6.4M im­prove­ment pro­ject for the Iso­tope Pro­duc­tion Fa­cil­ity. The goals are to re­duce the pro­gram­matic risk and en­hance fa­cil­ity re­li­a­bil­ity while at the same time pur­su­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties to in­crease gen­eral iso­tope pro­duc­tion ca­pac­ity. This has led to some ex­cit­ing in­no­va­tions. In this paper we will dis­cuss the en­gi­neer­ing de­signs for our new col­li­ma­tor, which is both ad­justable and 'ac­tive' (i.e. equipped with beam cur­rent and tem­per­a­ture mea­sure­ments), as well as our up­graded beam raster sys­tem and new beam di­ag­nos­tics ca­pa­bil­i­ties. We will also re­port on re­sults ob­tained and lessons learned from the com­mis­sion­ing phase and ini­tial pro­duc­tion run.
