Abstract :
A 30 MeV compact cyclotron, CYCIAE 30 devoted to medical radioactive isotope production was built in CIAE and put into operation in Dec. 1994. It was originally designed by IBA, Belgium. Some major modifications of the design have been taken. In order to improve the performance of the machine, the magnet redesign and adjustment have to be taken. All equipment: RF, power supplies, vacuum and water cooling system, except ion source and strippers, are made in China. The initial operation of the machine was reported
