A high-energy ion implanter monitors the recycling of a charge exchanging gas that is supplied to a stripper of a tandem accelerator. When the charge exchanging gas leaks out from the stripper and then flows into both energy boxes adjacent the tandem accelerator, gas sensors in the energy boxes measure the amount of the charge exchanging gas and send corresponding data to a controller. The controller compares the measured data with a standard data on the charge exchanging gas. When the measured data is different from the standard data, a pre-established interlocking system breaks off the operation of the implanter.
