Objectives:
- Develop a plan to increase Proton Source throughput while maintain good availability and acceptual residual activation.
- The plan must address hardware modifications to increase repetition rate and
improve beam loss while ensuring viable
- operation of the proton source through 2025.

Goal::
- PIP should enable Linac/Booster to deliver:
- Deliver 1.80E17 protons per hour (12 Hz) by May 1, 2013
- Deliver 2.25E17 protons per hour (15 Hz) by January 1, 2016
- while maintaining Linac/Booster availabilty > 85%
- and residual activation at acceptable levels
- and ensuring a useful operation life of the proton source through 2025.
