Title: Announcement of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB)
Description: The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science named MSU as the site for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. Proposed to be $550 million, the FRIB construction should last about a decade. The facility will allow researchers to conduct experiments in nuclear science, astrophysics, and application of isotopes to other fields. The FRIB will be the world's most powerful rare-isotope facility.
