Adapting to change: learning a new machine, cross-training as an operator

Oral

The recently formed Drivers Operation Group at TRIUMF has merged E-LINAC operations into the pre-existing 520 MeV Cyclotron Operations Group. The end goal is to operate both accelerators in one control room with one group of cross-trained operators. Despite challenges, most cyclotron operators have now been trained to operate the E-LINAC for low energy commissioning activities and the control...
