Personnel and machine protection for high power accelerator commissioning, operations, and power ramp up

Safety is one of the main concerns in accelerator society. The key FRIB strategies and experience can be shared, leading to the successful FRIB operations with no safety-related incidents and meeting stringent standard in a university area. Personnel protection and machine protection are key to high power frontier facilities like FRIB. For a facility built in the middle of university campus with heavy ion beam power being ramped up order of magnitude higher than the current record, stringent engineered and administrative controls and state-of-the-art technologies are needed to safeguard commissioning, operations, and upgrades.
