Abstract: Production of radioactive ions has started at GANIL on the SPIRAL facility since 2001 and numerous multicharged radioactive ion beams have been delivered for high energy nuclear experiments. This article makes an overview of the different beams that have been produced. In the mean time, an important R and D research program is continued in oder to produce new species of radioactive elements. A new concept of multicharged radioactive production that couples a monocharged ion source, based on the monolithe concept, to an ecr ion source like nanogan3 is under developments and is described The development of monocharged ion sources with high efficiencies is also motivated by a new big project that is under studies at GANIL : the SPIRAL 2 Project. The goal of this project consists in extending the disponible radioactive ion beams to very heavy elements created with a new method of production : while the spiral 1 facility uses the projectile fragmentation for radioactive nuclei production, the spiral 2 project is based on the fission of a Uranium carbide target induced by a neutron flow created by a high intensity deuton beam. The principle and an overview of the project is presented.Production of radioactive ions has started at GANIL on the SPIRAL facility since 2001 and numerous multicharged radioactive ion beams have been delivered for high energy nuclear experiments.
