The construction of VENUS, an Electron Cyclotron Resonance ion source designed to operate at 28 GHz, is nearing completion. Tests with the superconducting magnet assembly produced axial magnetic field strengths of 4 T at injection and 3 T at extraction and a sextupole field of 2 T at the plasma wall. These fields are sufficient for optimum operation at 28 GHz. We expect a shift to higher charge states and an increase in the beam intensities (about 4 times) compared to those obtained with the AECR-U, which operates at 14 GHz. Initial operation will be at 18 GHz, but best performance is expected when operation with a 10 kW, 28 GHz gyrotron becomes possible. The high beam intensities and the large axial magnetic field at extraction make it challenging to extract, analyze and transport the beam into the 88-Inch Cyclotron. The analyzing system which consists of a solenoid lens and a large gap 18 cm spectrometer-magnet with higher order field corrections has been optimized utilizing 3D magnet and ray-tracing codes including space charge effects. The status of the construction and design aspects of the source and beam transport system are described below. .
