http://statenews.com Michigan business, economic and political leaders met Tuesday to announce a statewide effort to help MSU win a national competition for the $550 million Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, a project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy that would update the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory on campus. en-us Foundry4 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 06:07:59 -0500 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:42:55 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/18846/view PennSate has a nuclear power reactor on campus.

We’re talking about MSU leading the way in Nuclear technology. I just hope I don’t start glowing if I hang out in E.L too much when the thing is built haha.

How is PSU even relevant here? Wed, 02 Jul 2008 09:34:27 -0400 http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/18862/view http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/18867/view I hope federal funding evaporates. The Department of Energy causes more harm than good in the economy. People don’t seem to realize that most of that money isn’t paying for revolutionary technology that is going to give us great standards of living. Rather, the vast majority of the proposed funding is going to pay the salaries of deceitful graduate students and researchers so they can stuff their faces. Scientific research in America has become merely a transfer of wealth from the working class to the story tellers and liars.

This is nuclear science as in high energy particle physics, something that only MIT exceeds MSU in. We need this facility to stay on top of that field in the years to come.

Not one of those puny research ones, but an honest to god Three Mile Island style reactor. Talk about going Green!
