	Funding: Pole Mecatech/Biowin/SPW RW - Convention 8150: CardiAmmonia In 2020, IBA has started the design, construction, tests and industrialization of a new proton cyclotron for the low energy range, the Cyclone® KEY, for PET isotope production (18F, 13N, 11C) for neurology, cardiology or oncology imaging. It is a compact and fully automated isochronous cyclotron accelerating H⁻ up to 9,2 MeV. Based on the successful design history and return of experience of the Cyclone® KIUBE, the Cyclone® KEY design has been focused on compactness (self-shielding enabled), cost effectiveness and ease of installation, operation and maintenance. The innovative design consists in the interoperability of the different subsystems: the magnet, the RF system, the vacuum system, the ion source, the stripping extraction, and target changers (with up to three targets). First beam tests results will also be presented.

	I.L. Strydom iThemba LABS, Somerset West, South Africa
	The South African Isotope Facility (SAIF) is a new radioisotope production facility currently under construction at iThemba LABS in Cape Town and scheduled for completion in 2022. A commercial 70 MeV proton cyclotron from IBA with a number of beam lines equipped with isotope production stations, are being installed in retrofitted concrete vaults. The facility will be supported by new infrastructure and services which are being constructed. The completion of SAIF will greatly increase the radioisotope production capability of iThemba LABS, and enable the existing Separated Sector Cyclotron to be dedicated to nuclear research activities. An overview of the SAIF project from the inception phase through to the construction phase is provided here, discussing all related workstreams and progress made to date. A more detailed discussion of some specific systems is given, including the design of the isotope production stations, target handling system, and a new radioactive waste management facility.
