Typed letter signed by the two Co-Chairs John Ahearne and Stuart Freedman laid in. Rear cover creased. xii 140 8 p. Occasional footnotes. Illustrations some with cover. Glossary. Author continues: "Rare-Isotope Science Assessment Committee." Over ten years ago U.S. nuclear scientists proposed construction of a new rare isotope accelerator in the United States which would enable experiments to elucidate the important questions in nuclear physics. To help assess this proposal DOE and NSF asked the NRC to define the science agenda for a next-generation U.S. Facility for Rare Isotope Beams FRIB. As the study began DOE announced a substantial reduction in the scope of this facility and put off its initial operation date by several years. The study focused on an evaluation of the science that could be accomplished on a facility reduced in scope. This report provides a discussion of the key science drivers for a FRIB an assessment of existing domestic and international rare isotope beams an assessment of the current U.S. position about the FRIB and a set of findings and conclusions about the scientific and policy context for such a facility. From Wikipedia: "The Facility for Rare Isotopes Beams FRIB is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science DOE-SC national user facility supporting the mission of the Office of Nuclear Physics. FRIB will produce large quantities of a wide variety of rare isotopes by breaking stable nuclei into rare isotopes enabling scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes in order to better understand the physics of nuclei nuclear astrophysics fundamental interactions and applications for society. The project is funded by DOE-SC Michigan State University and the State of Michigan and is being designed and established by MSU with construction expected to begin on campus in 2013. It will adjoin and upon commencement of operations subsume the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory NSCL at Michigan State University. Currently final design of the FRIB conventional facilities the tunnel and support buildings is complete and ready for construction to begin upon approval from the U.S. Department of Energy. Pre-construction site preparation is complete and pilings for the earth-retention system have been placed. Research and development activities have been successfully completed with much of the R&D work accomplished in collaboration with national laboratories. Final design of the technical systems accelerator and experimental equipment is underway and anticipated to be complete in 2014. Project completion is expected in 2021 managing to early completion in 2019. Across the state of Michigan business and political leaders have called for continued funding of FRIB in support of scientific discovery innovation and economic impact. Articles and editorials are available on the FRIB project web site. FRIB is expected to provide research opportunities for an international community of approximately 1000 university and laboratory scientists postdoctoral associates and graduate students. FRIB will provide researchers with the technical capabilities to study the properties of rare isotopes and to put this knowledge to use in various applications including in materials science nuclear medicine and the fundamental understanding of nuclear material important to nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship. More than 20 working groups specializing in experimental equipment and scientific topics have been organized through the FRIB Users Organization. Based on the analyses and recommendations over the last decade DOE-SC determined that the establishment of a Facility for Rare Isotope Beams FRIB is a high priority for the future of U.S. nuclear science research. This determination and supporting rationale are reflected in the DOE/ National Science Foundation Nuclear Science Advisory Committee s 2007 Long Range Plan and the 2003 DOE report Facilities for the Future of Science: A Twenty-Year Outlook. DOE-SC announced the selection of Michigan State University to design and establish FRIB on December 11 2008 after a rigorous merit review. The National Academies Press paperback
