If the large cyclotron is the heart of the TRIUMF, then the Driver Control Room (DCR) is its central nervous system. In addition to operating the large cyclotron, this control room has been expanded to support ARIEL’s e-Linac operations.

This control room is one of two onsite responsible for monitoring safe accelerator operations, and site security. These control rooms are always occupied by at least two accelerator operators – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
