Proceedings
About 80 experts attended this workshop, which brought together all accelerator communities: Accelerator Driven Systems, X-ray sources, medical and industrial accelerators,spallation sources projects (American and European), nuclear physics, etc. With newly proposed accelerator applications such as nuclear waste transmutation, replacement of nuclear power plants and others, reliability has now become a number one priority for accelerator designers. This aspect is now taken into account in the design/budget phase, especially for projects whose goal is to reach no more than ... 10 interruptions per year!. The high quality presentations given in the workshop inspired some very useful discussions. It soon became apparent that there is a need for a better exchange of information about equipment reliability, the technical problems encountered and the solutions adopted in the different Institutes. Therefore, it was decided to start a WEB site dedicated to accelerator reliability which will concentrate on technical information around that topic. The workshop ended with a visit of the various parts of ESRF equipment aimed at increasing reliability at the ESRF: the power supply commutation grid, the redundant RF system, the HQPS and ... the Control Room.
