Abstract	The SNS Front End, Drift Tube Linac and most of the Coupled Cavity Linac have been operated during commissioning. Operating statistics were taken and used by system owners to target developments to improve accelerator availability. This progression will be shown along with the overall availability goals of the SNS and a RAM calculation showing the system and subsystem availability required to meet these goals.
