FRIB project included in Obama’s budget

With the inclusion of a $30 million award from the Department of Energy in President Barack Obama’s budget, the construction of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, moves one step closer to its expected completion in 2020. Although the budget still needs approval from Congress, officials from MSU remain confident that the importance of the facility will be conveyed to legislators. The money was specified in earlier negotiations and was used to shape the project’s budget, said Alex Parsons, FRIB’s Project Communications Manager.
