The linac was commissioned in 2013 and the user service started in July 2013 with delivering proton beam to two target stations: one for a 20-MeV beam and the other for a 100-MeV beam. In 2015, the linac has been operated more than 2,800 hours with an availability of greater than 89%. The unscheduled downtime was about 73 hours, mainly due to problems of ion source arcing and failures of pulsed high-voltage power system. More than 2,100 samples from various fields such as materials science, bio-life and nano technology and nuclear science, were treated in 2015. Currently, a new target station for radioisotope production is under commissioning and a new target station for low-flux irradiation experiments is being installed. Operational experiences of the 100-MeV linac during the past 3 years will be presented in the workshop.
