Technology transfer is an unavoidable task for accelerator/storage ring construction projects. For sub systems that consist of many complex, identical pieces, in house fabrication is not an option as it was in the past, and so industrial procurement is required. If industry has not developed the requisite technology in support of an active market product, technology transfer must be accomplished. An underlying assumption is that the project or national laboratory R&D has fully developed the necessary technology and that industrial expertise in mass production is required. The talk will review the circumstances when technology transfer is appropriate, and based on a review of large system procurements for Fermilab, SLAC, the SSC, SNS, the LHC and RHIC, it will outline general guidelines that have emerged for what is required of project managers and industrial vendors to increase the probability of successful technology transfer and procurement. The guidelines are generally not dependent on specific national acquisition regulations, and therefore are relevant for international projects.

We survey the numerous technological approaches used for hadron beam delivery for radiotherapy, including fixed cyclotrons (both normal and superconducting), superconducting cyclotrons mounted on gantries, and slow and fast cycling synchrotrons. Protons, carbon ions and antiprotons have different kinds of sources. Clinically relevant light ions and protons have quite different beam rigidities, therefore leading to quite different gantry solutions.

The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) accelerator was built over 30 years ago. It consists of a 800-MeV proton linac, a proton storage ring, and facilities for isotope production, proton radiography, ultra-cold neutrons, weapons neutron research and for various sciences such as materials, biological and nanotechnology using neutron scattering. For national security, it plays a vital role in stockpile stewardship by providing important data on dynamic events during weapons detonation using proton radiography. The aging components of LANSCE will be refurbished and modernized in the next few years and the LANSCE will continue serving as a prominent facility for both science and national security in the years ahead. After SNS comes on line, it will play a complementary role and will also serve as a staging facility for some experiments to be carried out at SNS. Interesting science being conducted at LANSCE and the plans for the refurbishment and future enhancement of the facility will be presented.
