To help assess this proposal, DOE and NSF asked the NRC to define the science agenda for a next-generation U.S. Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). As the study began, DOE announced a substantial reduction in the scope of this facility and put off its initial operation date by several years. The study focused on an evaluation of the science that could be accomplished on a facility reduced in scope. This report provides a discussion of the key science drivers for a FRIB, an assessment of existing domestic and international rare isotope beams, an assessment of the current U.S. position about the FRIB, and a set of findings and conclusions about the scientific and policy context for such a facility. 606 $aIsotopes 606 $aNuclear physics$xResearch$zUnited States 615 0$aIsotopes. 615 0$aNuclear physics$xResearch 676 $a539.7072073 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bRare-Isotope Science Assessment Committee. 712 02$aNational Academies Press (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965422503321 996 $aScientific opportunities with a rare-isotope facility in the United States$94363282 997 $aUNINA
