  he Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study investigates the feasibility of a high-energy electron-positron linear collider optimized for a centre of mass energy of 3 TeV. To achieve the high accelerating gradients, the RF power is produced by a novel two-beam acceleration method in which a decelerating drive beam supplies energy to the main accelerating beam. The linacs are arranged in modular structures referred to as the two beam modules which cover 42 km of beamline. Beam losses from either beam can have severe consequences due to the high intensity drive beam and the high energy, small emittance main beam. This paper presents recent developments towards the design of a Cherenkov fiber BLM system and discusses its ability to distinguish losses originating from either beam.
