Before coming/safety issues

     – Visitors must wear long pants/skirts, closed-toe shoes and the personal protective equipment provided (vest, hard hat, and safety glasses).

     – Photography is not allowed while touring the research space. However, there is a “photo wall” to take a group picture.

     – Guides perform a safety survey before every tour to ensure that visitors will receive no excess radiation exposure (beyond the normal background) while in the vaults.

What to expect on a tour

     – The tour guide will want to know the level of physics a group understands and whether the group has any time limitations in case the tour runs over. Remember, a typical tour lasts 90 minutes, so plan accordingly.

     – This is a walking tour; visitors will be on their feet for the duration.
     – FRIB is a working laboratory. On the day of a tour, some areas may be inaccessible.

Event Transportation

Transportation will be coordinated as the event date approaches and will depend on the number of attendees. Announcements will be made to all attendees ahead of time.

ABOUT FRIB

Michigan State University (MSU) operates the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) as auser facility for theU.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC), supporting the mission of theDOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics. FRIB is funded by DOE-SC, MSU, and the State of Michigan, with user facility operation supported by the DOE-SCOffice of Nuclear Physics. Hosting what is designed to be the most powerful heavy-ion accelerator, FRIB enables scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes (that is, short-lived nuclei not normally found on Earth), nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and applications for society, including in medicine, homeland security, and industry.
