Abstract	The FRIB accelerator, constructed and commissioned in 2022, serves as a leading facility for producing rare isotope beams and exploring elements beyond the limits of stability. These beams are produced by reactions between stable primary beams and a graphite production target. Meanwhile, approximately 20–40% of the primary beam power is deposited in the target, necessitating efficient heat dissipation. Currently, FRIB operates at a primary beam power of 15 kW. To enhance thermal dissipation efficiency, a single-slice rotating graphite target with a diameter of approximately 30 cm is employed. This paper presents an overview of the current status of the production target system and ongoing R&D efforts to enhance its performance and durability under high-power beam conditions.
