One of recent major activities of the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) in Korea has been PLS-II user operation. The PLS-II is a Korea’s only and brand new 3rd generation synchrotron radiation source that was upgraded from the 16-year-old PLS in 2011. The old PLS started user service from 1995 and shutdown on Dec. 10, 2010. The PLS-II has been open to users from March 2012 with upgraded performance. The performance parameters of the PLS-II are 5.8 nm-rad emittance, 3.0GeV beam energy, and 400mA beam current with the top-up injection. The unique feature of PLS-II will be the implementation of 20 insertion-devices in a compact double-bend-achromat storage ring of 280m-long circumference. Among 20 insertion-devices, 14 are in-vacuum undulators. The first year operation in 2012 will be successfully completed and the operational statistics will be summarized and discussed.
