Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory in Ankara (TARLA) project has been supported by State Planning Organization (SPO) of Turkey since 2006 as a first step of the national Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC) project. TARLA facility, which is essentially proposed to generate oscillator mode FEL in 2-250 microns wavelengths range, will consist of totally normal conducting injector system with 250 keV beam energy, two superconducting RF accelerating modules in order to accelerate the beam between 15-40 MeV energies, and two different optical cavity systems with different undulator magnets with the periods of 25 mm and 90 mm. However continuous wave (CW) electron beam provided by TARLA accelerator is convenient for many other applications. Therefore additional Bremsstrahlung laboratory is also proposed at TARLA. In this study we present the current status of TARLA, time scale for commissioning process in addition to the operation process of thermionic gun.
