(2) shall ensure that isotope production activi-
ties carried out under the program under this para-
graph do not compete with private industry unless 
the Director determines that critical national inter-
ests require the involvement of the Federal Govern-
ment. 
(c) RENAMING
OF
THE RARE ISOTOPE ACCEL-
ERATOR.—Section 981 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 
(42 U.S.C. 16321) is amended— 
(1) in the section heading, by striking ‘‘RARE 
ISOTOPE ACCELERATOR’’ and inserting ‘‘FACIL-
ITY FOR RARE ISOTOPE BEAMS’’; and 
(2) by striking ‘‘Rare Isotope Accelerator’’ each 
place it appears and inserting ‘‘Facility for Rare Iso-
tope Beams’’. 
(d) FACILITY FOR RARE ISOTOPE BEAMS.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary shall provide 
for a Facility for Rare Isotope Beams to advance the 
understanding of rare nuclear isotopes and the evo-
lution of the cosmos. 
(2) FACILITY
CAPABILITY.—In carrying out 
paragraph (1), the Secretary shall provide for, at a 
minimum, a rare isotope beam facility capable of 
400 kW of beam power.

(3) START
OF
OPERATIONS.—The Secretary 
shall, to the maximum extent practicable, ensure 
that the start of full operations of the facility under 
this subsection occurs before June 30, 2022, with 
early operation in 2018. 
(4) FUNDING.—Out of funds authorized to be 
appropriated under section 11 for Nuclear Physics, 
there shall be made available to the Secretary to 
carry out activities, including construction of the fa-
cility, under this subsection—

SEC. 10. SCIENCE LABORATORIES INFRASTRUCTURE PRO-
GRAM. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Director shall carry out a 
program to improve the safety, efficiency, and mission 
readiness of infrastructure at Office of Science labora-
tories. The program shall include projects to— 
(1) renovate or replace space that does not 
meet research needs; 
(2) replace facilities that are no longer cost ef-
fective to renovate or operate; 
(3) modernize utility systems to prevent failures 
and ensure efficiency;
