A brief overview of the experience is given, including a summary of the observed performance in comparison to expectations. An important number of changes are applied to the beam dumping system during the present Long Shutdown on order to further improve its system safety and performance. They include the addition of a direct link between the Beam Interlock System and the re-triggering system of the dump kickers, the modification of the uninterrupted electrical power distribution architecture, the upgrade of the HV generators, the consolidation of the trigger synchronization system, the modifications to the triggering system of the power switches and the changes to the dump absorbers TCDQ.
