  A MW class cw superconducting electron linac is being installed at TRIUMF as a driver for radioactive beam production through photo-fission. The ARIEL e-linac will house five 1.3GHz nine-cell cavities in three cryomodules and accelerate up to 10mA of electrons to 50MeV. A first phase of installation will see three cavities in two cryomodules installed by the end of 2014. Presently the injector cryomodule is installed and undergoing cryogenic and rf characterizations and beam acceleration tests with beam from the 300kV DC gun. The second cryomodule is being prepared for first tests. The linac status including descriptions and operating performance of installed cryogenic and rf systems, electron gun performance, cryomodule performance and the results of first beam acceleration tests will be reported.
