The C-30 compact cyclotron at the Soltan Institute for Nuclear Studies (SINS) was designed for H^- or proton beam acceleration up to 30 MeV. One of the basic motivations for this construction was the possibility of production of short lived, neutron deficient radionuclides for medical application. The latter requires, however, an average external proton beam of higher intensity than currently obtained. To increase the beam current an external ion source has been constructed. An axial injection system for H^- ions is to be completed. Using a 30 MeV proton beam from the cyclotron one can produce up to 28 short life-time medical isotopes including the most commonly used ⁶⁷Ga, ⁸¹Rb, ¹¹¹In, ¹²³J and ²⁰¹Tl.
