Description
Operation of cancer treatment has been carried out at Gunma University Heavy Ion Medical Center since March 2010. Total 2369 patients were treated until the end of May 2017. No treatment delay longer than 2 hour due to the accelerator occurred. Nevertheless, several troubles which decrease beam current occurred: gas flow reduction of the ECR ion source, and a deterioration of the charge stripping foil. An energy-saving operation mode of the synchrotron has reduced 10% of the total power consumption. (author)
