The SNS began commissioning of the entire accelerator, with beam to target, ten years ago in April 2006. Since then significant improvements we have made which have resulted in reduced beam loss and increased availability and beam power on target. The SNS accelerator systems have operated recently for significant periods of time at about 1.4MW with greater than 90% availability. Component status, improvements and operating experience will be presented.
