cluded from participating in developing or voting on 
final approval of the report required under paragraph 
(1)(A). 
SEC. 9. NUCLEAR PHYSICS. 
(a) PROGRAM.—The Director shall carry out a pro-
gram of experimental and theoretical research, and support 
associated facilities, to discover, explore, and understand all 
forms of nuclear matter. 
(b) ISOTOPE DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION FOR 
RESEARCH APPLICATIONS.—The Director— 
(1) may carry out a program for the production 
of isotopes, including the development of techniques to 
produce isotopes, that the Secretary determines are 
needed for research, medical, industrial, or related 
purposes; and 
(2) shall ensure that isotope production activities 
carried out under the program under this paragraph 
do not compete with private industry unless the Di-
rector determines that critical national interests re-
quire the involvement of the Federal Government.

(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 op-
eration in 2018. 
(4) FUNDING.—Out of funds authorized to be ap-
propriated under section 11 for Nuclear Physics, there 
shall be made available to the Secretary to carry out 
activities, including construction of the facility, under 
this subsection—

SEC. 10. SCIENCE LABORATORIES INFRASTRUCTURE PRO-
GRAM. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Director shall carry out a pro-
gram to improve the safety, efficiency, and mission readi-
ness of infrastructure at Office of Science laboratories. 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 effec-
tive to renovate or operate; 
(3) modernize utility systems to prevent failures 
and ensure efficiency; 
(4) remove excess facilities to allow safe and effi-
cient operations; and 
(5) construct modern facilities to conduct ad-
vanced research in controlled environmental condi-
tions. 
(b) APPROACH.—In carrying out this section, the Di-
rector shall utilize all available approaches and mecha-
nisms, including capital line items, minor construction 
projects, energy savings performance contracts, utility en-
ergy service contracts, alternative financing, and expense 
funding, as appropriate.
