Scientific Complex based on the 600 MeV Proton Linac is under operation at the INR, Troitsk, Moscow to provide both basic and applied research. At the moment proton beam from the Linac with energy about 210 MeV and average current about 130 μA is transporting to the Experimental Area to be use for following facilities: three Spallation Neutron sources, the Isotope Production facility and the Beam Therapy complex. Status of the Linac and Experimental Area as well as the tuning procedures to decrease particle loss in high-intensity mode of operation are given in the paper.

  INR Linac is in regular operation since 1993. The accelerator incorporates DTL and DAW structures operating at 198.2 MHz and 991 MHz correspondingly. Initially two types of high power vacuum tubes specially designed for INR linac (GI-54A for final amplifier and GI-51A for intermediate amplifier) were used in DTL RF power system. However production of these tubes has been terminated resulting in a need of DTL RF system upgrade. The main goal of the recent upgrade is replacement of the old tubes by modern ones. The difficulty of replacement arises due to a need to minimize mechanical changes of the existing equipment. Another goal is improving of operational reliability. The reliability depends on vacuum tube reliability and to a large extent - on crowbar operation. The results and the experience of INR DTL RF system upgrade are presented

  INR Linac has been operating with 50 Hz beam repetition rate so far. Increasing the repetition rate up to 100 Hz is of importance as it results in doubling of the beam intensity. To solve the task several accelerator systems must be modernized but the most critical one is the DTL rf system (up to 100 MeV). The problems related to the DTL rf system repetition rate increasing are described. One of them is a 50 Hz modulation of a 100 Hz rf pulse sequence. Though the instabilities of accelerating field due to the modulation are reduced by the feedback systems, nevertheless exploration of the effect and its minimizing is of importance. The analysis of the effect is given and the results of experimental studies are presented.

  The activity for beam intensity increasing and beam use efficiency improvement is under progress in INR linac. An important stage is the development and implementation of the Beam Pulse Separation System in the accelerator intermediate extraction area (160 MeV). The system is intended for distribution the beam pulses between Isotope Production Facility (up to 160 MeV) and the Experimental Facility located downstream of the accelerator exit. The report describes the upgrade of intermediate extraction area as well as the first results of experiments with the beam.

  A bending magnet with a power supply system has been designed and manufactured in the NIIEFA for the Institute for Nuclear Research RAS to ensure simultaneous operation of the linear accelerator in the experimental and isotopic systems. The arrangement has been installed and adjusted in the INR RAS. In the paper are described a schematic and principle of operation of the arrangement ensuring the bending of a part of the beam macroimpulses to the isotopic system with a frequency of up to 50 Hz. The adjustment results are presented.
