From The Detroit Free Press: The Michigan State University board of trustees has approved the next phase of the Facility of Rare Isotope Beams, despite some uncertainty over federal funding for it. The board agreed to spend $20 million for site preparation and excavation on the East Lansing campus. Federal funding for the project came into question this month after U.S. Department of Education Secretary Steven Chu said it was uncertain. The facility would be at least 1,000 times more powerful than the machines now running at MSU's National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory.
