One of the largest concrete placements of the entire project started today and will last more than 30 hours. The placement is for the floor of the target area, which is where FRIB's heavy ion beam will hit the production target and create rare isotopes. It will take around 300 trucks to place the 2,700 cubic yards of concrete.

Michigan State University (MSU) operates the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) as a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science(link is external) (DOE SC), with financial support from and furthering the mission of the DOE‑SC Office of Nuclear Physics. FRIB is registered to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and ISO 45001.
