  Communications and Power Industries, Inc (CPI) produced 81 klystrons for the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The klystrons are rated for 550 kW peak at 805 MHz. Seventy units have accumulated 1.2M hours of filament operation and 820K hours of high voltage operation through January 2008. A higher power 700 kW version has been developed and is now in production with 12 of the 38 units on order delivered through January 2008. Performance specifications, computer model predictions, operating results, production statistics, and operational status will be presented.
