caption_attribution_description: English: Construction of Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP)'s Rare Isotope Science Project (RAON) on 18 August 2018. Image was taken by a drone overlooking the facilities.
context_page_description: RAON is a South Korean particle physics laboratory within the Rare Isotope Science Project that is being constructed in the outskirts of Daejeon neighboring Sejong, South Korea by the Institute for Basic Science. It is expected to be finished by 2021.
context_section_description: Research areas in the field of nuclear science include the study of the origin of elements and evolution of stars, nuclear force and structure, nuclear reactions, and nuclear science theory. 
  KOrea Broad acceptance Recoil spectrometer and Apparatus (KOBRA): Study the production of nuclear structures and rare isotopes through the collisions of nuclei of rare isotopes and stable atoms
  Large Acceptance Multi-Purpose Spectrometer (LAMPS): Observe the high density states of substances resulting from collisions of neutron-rich rare isotopes
  Nuclear Data Production System (NDPS): Produce precise atomic nuclear reaction data on rare isotope nuclear materials and high-speed neutrons
