  The RIKEN Ring Cyclotron (RRC K540) has been in stable operation over twenty-five years, and supplying many kinds of heavy-ion beams to experiments. Since 2007, it has also been supplying beams to the RIBF four Ring cyclotrons including the Super-conducting Ring Cyclotron (SRC K2500). Now the RRC has three kinds of injectors, one is K70 AVF cyclotron for light ions, the second is the variable-frequency linac for heavy ions, and the third is the RILAC2 for using the high intensity very heavy ions like U and Xe. The many combinations of accelerators are possible, and in any acceleration modes, the RRC should works as a first energy booster. A total operation time of the RRC is more than 5000 hr in every year. The present status of the RRC operation will be reported.

  In RIKEN Nishina accelerator center, the experiment on the super-heavy element (Z=113) search has been being carried out since 2003. The RIKEN heavy-ion linac is supplying a heavy-ion beam of 70Zn with energies around 5MeV/nucleon. The beam intensities are required more than 1 particle maicro amper on the target. Very long-term and stable operations are intrinsic for this kind of experiments. So far two events for Z=113 have been found during a net irradiation time of 10345 hours (431 days) with a total dose 1.1 x 1020 (12.8 mg). Heavy operation of the linac will be reported.
