  The GANIL facility (Caen, France) is dedicated to the acceleration of heavy ion beams for nuclear physics, atomic physics, radiobiology and material irradiation. The production of stable and radioactive ion beams for nuclear physics studies represents the main part of the activity. The exotic beams are produced by the Isotope Separation On-Line method (ISOL, the SPIRAL1 facility) with SPIRAL1 facility. It is running since 2001, producing and post-accelerating radioactive ion beams. The review of the operation from 2001 to 2011 is presented. Because of the physicist demands, the facility is about to be improved with the project Upgrade SPIRAL1. The goal of the project is to extend the range of post-accelerated exotic beams avalaible.

  Superconducting LINAC booster is modular machine which consists of 7 cryomodules each consisting four quarter wave resonators and one superbuncher module. The control system is a mixed distributed control system. Geometrical distributed system architecture has been followed for RF control. RF control has four local nodes( RF LCS) each nodes catering to two cryostat. Two additional nodes are made for beam line system and cryogenics distribution system, making it a systematic distribution system. The system is developed on Linux operating system but the software is portable on Linux and Microsoft windows. The software is developed in two layers namely scanner and operator interface. Scanners interacts with the interface hardware. All scanners are developed in JAVA , which is very challenging job looking towards the feature of JAVA. Various issues regarding this were closely investigated and solved to overcome the deficiency of JAVA .A micro-controller based board has been developed for cryogenics line distribution system. Different subsystems of the control system has been developed independently. A complete integration of the system will be completed before Dec 2012.
