  The Beam Dump Fa­cil­ity (BDF), cur­rently in the study phase, is a pro­posed gen­eral-pur­pose fixed tar­get fa­cil­ity at CERN. Ini­tially will host the Search for Hid­den Par­ti­cles (SHiP) ex­per­i­ment, in­tended to in­ves­ti­gate the ori­gin of dark mat­ter and other weakly in­ter­act­ing par­ti­cles. The BDF par­ti­cle pro­duc­tion tar­get is lo­cated at the core of the fa­cil­ity and is em­ployed to fully ab­sorb the high in­ten­sity (400 GeV/c) Super Pro­ton Syn­chro­tron (SPS) beam. To val­i­date the de­sign of the pro­duc­tion tar­get, a down­scaled pro­to­type was tested with the beam at CERN in 2018 in the North Area pri­mary area in a ded­i­cated test at 35 kW av­er­age beam power. This con­tri­bu­tion de­tails the BDF pro­to­type tar­get op­er­a­tion, fully re­mote re­moval in­ter­ven­tion, and fore­seen post-ir­ra­di­a­tion ex­am­i­na­tion plans.
