The current status of the TRIUMF project is described. Erection of the cyclotron magnet is virtually complete, including the support structure which raises and lowers the upper half of the magnet. The vacuum chamber has been tested, with cryopumping enabling a pressure of 10−7 Torr to be achieved within a few hours. The final design pressure of 4×10 −8 Torr looks easily achievable. The resonators, operating on the fifth harmonic of the ion frequency are undergoing manufacture. The radio‐frequency amplifiers have been tested and appear to be capable of delivering the 1600 kW of 23 MHz power required for operation at 200 kV between the “dees”. The initial version of the ion source and injection system has been tested and the H− beam has been injected into the full‐scale model of the central region of the cyclotron.
