Abstract
The initial commissioning of the Vivitron generator has been continued this year. Unfortunately, several unexpected difficulties, most of which were connected with the gas handling system, arose in the course of the year, leading to a severe hampering of all tests. The latter had to be stopped as of August 7, 1991, when a major accident of chemical nature occurred, resulting in pollution of the entire Vivitron. An intermediate voltage level of 17.6 MV had been reached but with high parasitic currents from the rollers to the belt and not without damage to the column. In spite of repeated monitoring, it later became apparent that an excessive degree of humidity had prevailed in the machine during all tests. This condition was probably responsible for the anomalies observed.
