The FRIB driver linac accelerates CW beams of all stable ions up to uranium to the energy of 200 MeV/u with the beam power of 400 kW. We plan to start staged beam commissioning in December 2017 in parallel with ongoing installation activities. This allows early recognition of technical issues, which is essential for smooth commissioning and early completion of commissioning goals. As the interlaced nature of commissioning and installation poses both scheduling challenges and special safety issues, it is essential to develop a commissioning plan with focused consideration of each. In this paper, we present a commissioning plan with emphasis on its characteristic features.

	Funding: *Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams driver linac provides CW beams of all the stable ions (from protons to uranium) with a beam power of 400 kW and a minimum beam energy of 200 MeV/u in order to produce a wide variety of rare isotopes, mainly for nuclear physics study. The low beam emittances, both transverse and longitudinal, are key performance requirements, together with beam stability. These are required for efficiently separating one isotope from another, the reason for choosing this linac configuration. Multi-charge states (five charge states for the uranium case) are accelerated for maximizing the beam current, while keeping the low emittances. The efficient acceleration of high beam currents from 0.5 MeV/u through the superconducting linac is, needless to say, one of the biggest challenges. The beam power is more than 200 times higher than existing similar SC heavy ion linac. In particular, the SC cavities are difficult to protect from heavy ion beam damage, which can be 30 times larger locally than a proton beam with the same beam power. Other challenges peculiar to the FRIB linac will be presented, together with the solutions.

	We installed Annular-type Coupled Structure (ACS) linac in year 2013 in present linac downstream to extend the beam energy from 181 to 400 MeV. The beam commissioning had been conducted for one month in last December to January, and then we successfully extract 400 MeV beam. Whereas, we stably operate the linac at peak current of 15 mA, which is equivalent to 300 kW at the extraction of 3 GeV RCS, we observe unexpected residual radiations in ACS section. In this presentation, we review the recent progress in beam commissioning and beam loss study.

	An energy upgrade project has started to achieve the design beam power of 1 MW at the exit of the downstream synchrotron in the J-PARC Linac since 2009. In the upgraded project, a beam energy in the Linac has increased from present 181 MeV to 400 MeV using the additional 21 annular-ring coupled structure (ACS) cavities. The new beam monitors as the beam current monitors, the phase monitors, the beam position monitors, the transverse profile monitors (wire scanner monitors) and the longitudinal profile monitors (bunch shape monitors) for the part where the ACS cavities were installed were designed, fabricated and calibrated. Till the end of November, 2013, all beam monitors were completed to be installed. From the middle of December, we started the beam commissioning to achieve the beam energy as 400 MeV, as well as to confirm the beam monitor functioning. We achieved the 400 MeV beam acceleration at the middle of January, 2014 using newly installed beam monitors. This paper describes the beam monitor installation, calibration and the beam commissioning results of beam monitor functioning.
