The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is a prototype accelerator designed to validate high-current, high-power deuteron beam acceleration for future neutron sources in fusion energy research. Jointly constructed and operated in Rokkasho, Japan, by Japanese and European institutions, its subsystems are uniquely procured via in-kind contributions. As development began nearly 15 years ago, LIPAc is now addressing aging issues in several control system components. In parallel with ongoing beam commissioning, multiple upgrade plans are underway to ensure long-term sustainability taking also into account the lessons learned during the previous beam campaigns. These include migration to EPICS 7.0, transition from CSS Eclipse to Phoebus, replacement of CentOS with Debian for operator PCs, and hardware improvements in the Timing System, Machine and Personnel Protection Systems. This presentation outlines recent commissioning progress, upgrade strategies, and a roadmap toward enhanced interoperability, long-term maintainability, and system reliability. |
