Abstract

The upgrade of the "Système de Production d'Ions Radioactifs en Ligne" phase I (SPIRAL I) installed at the "Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds" (GANIL) situated at Caen, France, is in progress and should be ready by 2014. In parallel, the first part of SPIRAL II facility is currently under construction. The global status of the upgrade is presented: goal, radioactive ion production systems, modification of the production cave and impact of the current safety re-evaluation of GANIL.
