The first of twelve β=0.29 cryomodules was placed in the linear accelerator tunnel on 13 September.

FRIB Project personnel moved the beamline from the assembly room and lowered it through the access shaft where it was moved the tunnel, and inserted into its near-final position.

With technical construction of the β=0.04 complete and β=0.085 cryomodules almost complete, the focus of the superconducting radio frequency cavity activities now shifts to the β=0.29 and β=0.53 half-wave-resonator cryomodules.

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.
