  High reliability is a very important goal for third generation light sources. Very often the beam availability is used as the operation metrics to measure the reliability of the accelerator. A survey at several light sources revealed that the calculation of this statistics varies significantly between facilities. This prevents a useful comparison of their reliabilities. The authors propose a specific metrics for the reliability of third generation light sources; a metrics that will allow a detailed and meaningful comparison of these particle accelerators.

  The ALBA light source has been operating in decay mode since May 2012. Now it is ready for top-up operation, which should become the standard operation mode for users from mid 2014. In this paper we are going to summarise the different steps that have taken place before the start of top-up operation: radiation safety simulations and measurements, upgrade of hardware and software interlocks, control software and injection optimisation.
