Rare Isotope Beams to bring millions to Michigan
The Dept of Energy announced Thursday that it has awarded Michigan State
University, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), a large federally
funded research lab that will create hundred of jobs and up to a billion
dollars for our local and state economy.
This building project will take about 10 years to complete. The lab will
eventually employ 1000 university and student researchers, graduate
students, and post doctoral associates from the international community.
The Facility for Rare Isotopoe Beams will also conduct research into the
origins of the earth's elements and the development of the cosmos.
Michigan State University also is home to the National Superconductor and
Congratulations to MSU for its award of this scientific facility, which
should bring a much needed boost to Michigan's economy. Once this
sprawling facility is completed, the hundreds of scientists and skilled staff
needed to operate it will also bring intellectual wealth to our state.
