Sign director designation agreement

good afternoon everybody if you could please have a seat um thank you for coming i don't think we ever had hey matt good to see you all right all right so well looks like most people found their seats now all right well good afternoon welcome to michigan state university and to the facility for rare isotope beams also known as fripp i'm thomas glassmacher the airport lab director we're so honored to have all of you here join us in person in a tent and online to celebrate the designation of africa as a us department of energy office of science user facility i thank all of you for joining us today and i want to especially recognize our department of energy guests and the msu president and the members of congress who can join us in person so thank you secretary burlet for coming um thank you under secretary for science paul de barra msu president sam stanley congresswoman elissa slotkin from our michigan's eighth district congressman wahlberg from michigan's seventh district that just starts souther here and then north are here congressman mulliner from michigan's fourth district thank you all for joining us i look forward to your remarks and for being part of today's program we're also grateful to michigan governor gretchen whitmer and michigan senators debbie stadler gary peters both of them meant to come but now senate is in session so they're not coming but they have submitted remarks i also want to acknowledge the other honored guests we have here today in attendance michigan representative julie brixie michigan representative sarah anthony trustee melanie foster the east lansing mayor aaron stevens the msu provost and vice president for academic affairs teresa woodruff and the msu sorry executive vice president and the msu executive vice president for health sciences non-beauchamp and then we have several construction and manufacturing leaders those companies who helped build afric and many other michigan and msu leaders before we go much further i want to just note that we're outdoors in a large tent i'm told the largest tent you can rent in michigan and attendance is limited to less than 100 people everybody is wearing a mask and we're six feet apart and i want to thank you all for helping with these practices so we limit the spread of covet 19. and it's a privilege to celebrate this day with all of you a facility like efrep was been has been discussed by the nuclear science community since the mid 1990s the ue competed the sighting decision in 2008 and selected msu and the effort project then started in 2009 civil construction started in 2014 and technical installation started in 2016. with the incredible project team and the outstanding industrial and commercial partners we had we have been building efrib safely on time on budget and ahead of schedule and we'll start [Applause] in the last year we will focus on integration with the existing nscl facility and we're preparing for science in 2022 being located on university campus at the same time we inspire students we give them to us we attract them into nuclear science nuclear chemistry and into the accelerator technology field and through partnerships with other universities we attract students to msu so that we can now educate the next generations of science leaders who represent the diversity that makes up american society fifteen hundred scientists are eager to come to africa and to conduct their research because efrib will be the most powerful superconducting heavy iron linear accelerator in the world fruit will afford researchers more than a thousand isotopes that have never been produced on earth and the discoveries well and the discoveries that the scientists will make of effort they promise to be life-changing just like the isotope discoveries have been to date where isotopes are used in pet imaging in smoke detectors in your homes to diagnose and treat disease and to diagnose cardiovascular disease neurological disorders just to name a few examples our whole team we're humbled by having been entrusted with significant public funds to build this 730 million dollar facility that will be a core piece of our nation's research infrastructure so thank you again to all who have brought us to this exciting day we are honored that you celebrate with us today and we look forward to celebrating together the world changing discovery scientists will make a difference so at this point it's my pleasure to introduce the 21st president of michigan state university he is a [Applause] he's a nationally recognized leader in higher education who joined msu in 2019 from stony brook where he was also the chair of brookhaven science associates at michigan state he is a strong force for excellence in education research and outreach for student success for diversity equity inclusion and for health and safety he is a physician and a distinguished biomedical researcher who specializes in emerging emerging infectious disease please join me in welcoming president stem standard well thank you so much thomas for your introduction and it's an absolute pleasure to be here and uh and actually not talking about covet 19 which is amazing for me these days um i want to begin by acknowledging and thanking all who are joining us today for this very important moment whether in person in front of us or remotely first to secretary dan griet and under secretary paul debar uh my sincere thanks for your strong support of ephrat the spartan community is honored to have you celebrate the spartan community is honored to celebrate with you the designation of frib as the department of energy office of science user facility we look forward to continuing our close collaboration with the office of science with the office of nuclear physics and the office of isotope r d in production whether it is in the installation of future cutting edge instruments such as the gamma ray energy tracking array and the high rigidity spectrometer and most importantly of course for the start of our full operations and the work of making the efferv isotope harvesting plans for the development of isotope applications a reality representatives alyssa slotkin tim wahlberg and john molinar thank you for being here today and joining us before heading off for washington to important votes thank you your leadership in congress has been vital for guaranteeing federal funding for f-rib each and every year i would also like to thank senators debbie stabenow and gary peters who have supported efforts since its earliest days and governor gretchen whitmer for her tireless work in this area as well and i look forward to their recorded remarks finally i want to take this moment to acknowledge in our audience today our new provost theresa woodruff board of trustee member melanie foster our state representative julie brixie and sarah anthony east lansing mayor aaron stevens and all of the manufacturing leaders who have traveled here today from across the state and beyond thank you for everything you have done to make ephraim a reality today's ceremony is like few ceremonies before it due to the global coven 19 epidemic that continues to challenge us internationally and domestically but it is also an example of the perseverance innovation and creativity that our research have harnessed researchers have harnessed to keep this amazing program on track in a very real sense f-rib represents msu's unique capability and scale as a research institution and is part of our vision for the future to continue to advance the common good with uncommon will we are proud to be the first university team to collaborate with the doe office of science on user facility delivered under a cooperative agreement and we believe that our joint venture will create a world-leading nuclear physics initiative that reflects both parties commitment to excellence and frontier breaking innovation effort will have the ability to create approximately 80 percent of all possible nuclei i'm not sure how somebody calculated that but it's really amazing and and this will give researchers the unprecedented opportunity to study vast unexplored regions of our universe to find the unique properties of rare isotopes and in so doing will help us better understand the physics of nuclei nuclear astrophysics while at the same time providing powerful applications to society in critical areas ranging from homeland security to fighting cancer in doing so on a university campus effort attracts and will help train a new generation of nuclear scientists accelerator scientists and engineers therefore seeding both academia and industry to create the touted workforce to help our global competitiveness and address the innovation deficit that may face america put simply the research research endeavors at f-rib will make the united states the leader in rare isotope nuclear science research giving companies in michigan and across the country a critical advantage in commercializing these discoveries i want to end on a personal note as was mentioned i had the opportunity to run manage brookhaven national laboratory for the department of energy for 10 years while i was at stony brook university it was an extraordinary responsibility and one that i think was very important for our entire university but one of the things that we were able to do during that time was successfully compete for the electron iron collider so i spent about 10 years there and of course left stony brook in time to come here they actually did the groundbreaking about two months ago so i missed it so therefore in recognition of that let me send my thanks and congratulations to president lou anna simon for the hard work she did in bringing efrid to the state of michigan i didn't want that to go unnoted today so thank you all i'm excited to celebrate this designation with everyone and i look forward to the start of operations in 2022 and the amazing innovations that will grow from brookhaven national laboratory thank you dfrib [Applause] well thank you president stanley governor gretchen mitwa is a lifelong michigander and an amnest msu alumna governor whitmer was elected to the michigan house of representatives in 2000 and then the michigan state senate in 2006. and then she was the first woman to lead the senate caucus in michigan and in 2016 she was elected michigan governor governor whitmore is unable to be with us today but we now will watch a video message she has prepared for us good afternoon president stanley secretary of energy dan bryant and our distinguished members of congress msu board of trustees and community leaders unfortunately my schedule doesn't allow me to be there in person with you today to celebrate the facility for isotope beams designation as a u.s department of energy office of science user facility but i cannot let the significant milestone pass without recognition during these tumultuous times it's more important than ever to come together and acknowledge the things that are worth celebrating and frib is definitely one of them first i want to congratulate all those who have worked over the last 12 years from ideation to implementation you should be proud of your accomplishments and the impact your work will have for generations to come with an investment of more than 730 million dollars from the doe msu and the state of michigan fred will become the nation's premier center for nuclear physics research it will serve as an international community of scientists who will use it to explore the mysteries of nuclear structure and the cosmos and to make discoveries for a better world frib is also a game changer for the michigan economy creating 1500 construction jobs and hundreds of permanent jobs for operations once it opens in 2022 attracting over 500 scientists from around the world annually and generating 205 million dollars in tax revenues and 831 million dollars an additional gross tax product through 2040. since 1958 msu has been known for its innovations in nuclear physics science making an impact in the u.s and around the world in fact msu's nuclear physics graduate program has ranked number one since 2010. that makes frib an important part of educating the next generation of scientists and critical to u.s economic competitiveness energy security nuclear security and non-proliferation efforts so enjoy today's celebration it is well deserved and go green thank you governor whitmore now we will hear recorded remarks from senator gary peters another msu alumnus senator peter served in the michigan state senate and was elected to the u.s house of representatives in 2008 and then to the senate in 2015. senator peters is a strong supporter of her effort and he has tirelessly worked to secure the smooth transition from construction to operation we'll now watch a video that he has prepared for us hello everyone this is u.s senator gary peters i'm so excited to help recognize the afriv at msu as a department of energy office of science user facility and welcome some of our state's premier manufacturers i want to congratulate president stanley director glass mocker and the whole spartan team for all of their efforts as well as the incredible scientists innovators and researchers at fred for their groundbreaking work this will be the first such collaboration between a university and department of energy delivered on time and on budget with this distinction the one-of-a-kind effort will provide unprecedented opportunities to study vast unexplored terrain of over 1 000 new rare isotopes never before produced on earth these isotopes are critical in fields such as homeland security to biomedical sciences and they're already helping support good manufacturing jobs in our state since joining the senate i've worked alongside a bipartisan group of michigan's delegation to ensure strong funding for the f-ramp each and every year and when i was one of the lead authors of the first legislation in nearly a decade to establish our nation's scientific priorities i visited efreb and convened a round table where i received vital input suggestions that i was able to then incorporate into my bipartisan bill that was signed into law i look forward to continuing to support ephrap because it is contributing to world-class medicine and science it is boosting manufacturing jobs in our state and it's important to our nation and national security i can't wait to see all of the amazing things the team at ephraim will continue to do congratulations again to everyone and go green thank you senator peters it's an honor now to introduce michigan senior senator and the third msu alumna senator debbie stabenow senator stabenow served in the house michigan house for 12 years and four years in the state senate in 1996 she was elected the representative to michigan's eighth congressional district and in 2000 she became the first woman from michigan elected to the u.s senate since its earliest day senator stabenow has been a stalwart champion of afrip and we will now watch a video she has prepared for us this really is an exciting celebration today and i wish i could be with you designating f-rib as a department of energy office of science user facility is a really important step so special thanks to our msu president stanley and we're so glad to have our energy secretary with us secretary bruyette thank you for being here at michigan state today you know this has been a long process to get to this point as all of us who are involved in it know in 2008 after intense competition the department of energy chose michigan state as the site of the revolutionary ephraim project and we had a wonderful bipartisan effort to support msu's efforts from business and labor and community state government local government our entire michigan delegation spoke up and weighed in it really was a truly michigan team effort and of course we were backing the folks that were the best project so and i i was here when we broke ground in 2014 in fact i still have my shovel and we are still committed to make sure that the final funding is in the budget that's something we work on every year together to make sure michigan state continues to be on time and on budget so we know how important that the project is to keep the united states at the forefront of nuclear physics and to advance our national security it's also for us about jobs and opportunity in michigan creating construction jobs and hundreds of permanent jobs for scientists and engineers and other staff and importantly opportunities for students going forward and i'm really excited about the fact that we are going to be hosting scientists from around the world to be a part of this effort so as a proud msu grad i am thrilled that my alma mater is training the next generation of nuclear experts and you can count on me to continue to be your partner and i'll see you at the ribbon cutting in 2022 go green well thank you senator stabenow it's now an honor and privilege for me to introduce the u.s secretary of energy dan burrett an army veteran with more than three decades of experience in the public and private sector including in the auto industry that's part of michigan steel a secretary that brought knowledge and experience make him a dynamic leader and champion for science and innovation he has been an outstanding supporter of national laboratories and user facilities where he pushes different years of science and discovery he understands the premise of effort and the scientific discoveries it will enable to impact people's lives in very real ways we are grateful for your leadership and look forward to celebrating with you the entire department of energy and the scientific breakthroughs that effort will make possible in the future we're honored that you have chosen to visit michigan state university in person to share the great news of afric's designation as a doe office of science user facility welcome secretary brett [Applause] thank you tom for that great introduction it is so good to be back here in michigan i spent some time here as a member of the executive team at ford motor company and uh i was expecting to see a little snow today but i guess uh but i i am very excited to be here it's a pleasure to be with all of you as we celebrate uh this designation of f rib and i want to say uh thank you to all of the people who have been involved with this project from the very beginning the governor mentioned some the senators the congress people who are here representing their various districts thank you for the good work that you did in congress thank you for the support and funding for the department of energy and the efforts that you have put forth this morning i had an opportunity to meet the small business roundtable with some of the manufacturers and suppliers and the trade craft to help build this wonderful facility thank you to all of you as well i know how important this this particular facility is to uh not only us at the department of energy but to you and the local community and i think it's entirely appropriate that we do it right here at michigan state university the top ranked nuclear physics graduate program in the entire country so thank you thank you to michigan state thank you president stanley thank you tom for your support today i think that we are designated designating more than just a new facility we're opening a new frontier in nuclear science and at this laboratory which is poised as the governor pointed out and others have pointed out to be the most powerful of its kind we will have unprecedented opportunities to study unexplored territory with regard to rare isotopes and i think as tom pointed out uh earlier uh over 1 000 new rare isotopes never bor never before produced here on earth and for those of you who like to do counting and like to do math that's more than double of what is currently available so it's a it's a unique collaboration between michigan state and the department of energy and in addition to the the fundamental science that will be discovered here this laboratory also provides additional benefits and some of them have already been mentioned 1500 jobs created here in east lansing we're going to strengthen our national security and our homeland security for those who are not familiar with the missions of the department of energy we are charged by the country to maintain the nuclear weapons stockpile the research that will be done here in nuclear physics will help us with that important mission we will also be able to develop advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies to help us fight cancer and other diseases and i have to add as it was pointed out this place is also very unique in the sense that over a 12-year period a 730 million dollar project it was delivered on time and on budget which is a rarity a historical rarity for the federal government perhaps for some state governments thank you for that um and as such f rib is a transformative laboratory for both the emission economy the michigan economy but also for fiscally responsible large-scale research so thank you for those efforts it's important for us to acknowledge however that it's not just solely a doe and an msu effort today represents the realization of investments of more than 1.2 billion dollars from the state of michigan other states and indeed other countries in ephraim and its predecessor the nscl since 2011. technology transfer and commercial development will also be key to this important project and the companies that come here will have significant advantages and opportunities in competing in the global economy finally this facility will be crucial for training the next generation of nuclear physics and accelerator researchers these outstanding individuals today's stem students will be vital for our our nation's economic competitiveness our energy security our national security and as the governor pointed out our non-proliferation efforts so in partnership with all of you attending in person and online it is now my distinct pleasure to designate f-rib as does new scientific user facility opening bold new frontiers in science congratulations to each of you congratulations to michigan state university thank you thank you very much secretary priyad now i'm happy to introduce the congresswoman of our district michigan's eighth district representative elisa slotkin representative slotkin began her career in national service during which she served two presidents first president bush and then president obama her early career has spent from cia analyst and intelligence briefer to senior assistance on the staff of the director of national intelligence senior advisor on iraqi policy at the state department and advisor on middle east policy to the under secretary of defense for policy in 2012 representative slotkin became chief of staff to the assistant secretary of defense for policy and later that year she was appointed principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for policy she then served as principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs they have long titles and as acting assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs in 2008 you became a member of congress 2018 sorry right and since the start of your congressional career you've hit the ground running for your well-known mission focus in leading the bipartisan house support for the doe office of science for the office of nuclear physics and firefight representative slotkin thank you for joining us today and we look forward to your remarks thanks i haven't heard the long version of my resume in a really long time so thank you um for uh honoring me with that it is a great day to be here um mr secretary we're thrilled that you came here mr under secretary thank you for accompanying him and honoring us with your presence obviously president stanley thank you for everything you have done and i'm thrilled to be here with my fellow congressman molinar and wahlberg demonstrating the seriousness and the bipartisan nature of our support for the f-rib i will tell you that the first time i realized how important it was to be the representative of the f-rib was when i was driving with a young staffer i just gave her a promotion this is in 2018 she called her parents we were in the car together she called her parents and said you know i'm going to be working for alyssa now and on the 8th district and her dad didn't seem very interested and then called back 10 minutes later and said that's the district that has the f rib and it turns out he was a uh nuclear physicist and came and gave a speech here a couple a year later so i i got to be the representative of the effort which is a great great thing to the companies represented here today your employees helped to you know spread the word about what we are here in the eighth district what we're able to do in terms of our research and how we're able to spin that off into a ton of new opportunities i am not a physicist as was said i'm a former cia officer and pentagon official now member of congress you've heard what the f-rib can do but i just want to say um a few notes on how this grand this groundbreaking research um it really on the building blocks of our universe how important it is to be doing this here in our district we've made it a priority along with my peers to fund the f-rib and make sure that we get the resources that it needs we were able to give it another 40 million this past funding cycle thank you i know congressman molinar is on the appropriations committee thank you congressman molinar over a billion dollars invested in our district but beyond the the science um as a national security professional i will just say that having this opportunity here makes us safer and stronger and more competitive as a country investments are interest are important for national security and for distributing our architecture so that we're not doing all the research all in one place and it's critical that we maintain our competitive advantage right if someone else is doing this research and not us that is an implicit threat to our country we want to make sure that we are doing the most groundbreaking research in the world um and now this is msu's real anchor for providing um our role in the national security of the united states it also has has been mentioned a very bipartisan effort we work together to secure the money to make sure that we have what we need here um so today is a victory for science and actually a demonstration of how government should run right we have a facility that is best placed in one of our ground breaking universities we have bipartisan support for getting the money that it needs it's a victory for those who believe that we do better in our nation when we work together on common goals so thank you for the opportunity and congratulations to everyone working on the fred project thank you congresswoman slotkin it's now my honor to introduce our next speaker congressman tim wahlberg congressman wahlberg is currently serving his sixth term as representative of michigan's seventh district which starts just south of here and he has served in the michigan house of representatives from 1983 to 1999 and he had established a reputation there as a principled league of legislator fiscal reformer and defender of traditional values and you first represented your district from 2007 to 2009 and then you returned again in 2011 to serve but as a member of the house energy and commerce committee representative wahlberg has been a long-standing strong and effective advocate for afrip and we were honored to have you speak at the groundbreaking with senator stavenow in 2014 and we're just as honored to have you back here today to celebrate this day welcome representative [Applause] thank you tom it's good to be back this time without a black eye if you remember last time i tried to make you believe that it was because of the fights in congress trying to get the funding for this but it was just falling on the ice and that's probably why unlike debbie stabenow i didn't get a shovel i did get the hard hat and maybe that was probably to protect me but it's so good to be here um i wish one person who was here uh secretary ba i was with was was old harold hilbert the time you remember harold good friend of mine uh who uh was intimately involved in even laying some of the stones and and planning what went on here but the secretary it's good to see you uh in a place other than being grilled in the energy and commerce committee in front of front of the committee under secretary it's great to have you and and dr stanley to be with you here at this great institution i mean this i wouldn't miss this and when we have the ribbon cutting i hope i'm able to be here as well this has gone on a long time i remember as a member of the michigan legislature back in the 90s fighting for what we call the superconductor super collider i failed quantitative chem so i didn't even know what that meant for sure but i knew it was important and as i drove past visiting my uh aunt and uncle in batavia illinois and saw the fermi lab and knew that we were in a battle to bring it here versus going to the fermi lab that began efforts that i've been privileged to be involved with over the years of trying to prove that this was the place that a facility like this should be an esteemed research facility at an esteemed research university that not only could do the job that we expected to have done for science for security for all that goes on with what can be produced here and i'm glad to hear today that next week as a result of this we're going to have the cure for the coronavirus i don't know if that was to be put out but more importantly a facility that involves students in the training the understanding of what this could be what it would be what it could result in in bringing to the world but also the students that might stay here and continue the research and development but many others who would have the opportunity for an on hand experience in education for something that looked to the future as big as this could then at the very least branch out all over the world and share the thrill of what was developed here and so that's the excitement for me whether i ever understand what goes on here and tom had the privilege to walk through several times with you during the during the construction thus far not really understanding it but understanding the impact that it could have for good in the world today so i applaud you i applaud all the construction companies that have been involved here i applaud all of the research that's been done the engineering and i look forward to having my grandkids experience what can come from this to the benefit and the good of our civilization god bless you as you continue finding things that we can ultimately find and have known to man well thank you so much congressman walberg and we hope you'll be back in 22. so i'm now pleased to introduce michigan representative u.s representative john mulliner of michigan's fourth congressional district congressman mulliner began his tenure as a public servant in the midland city council and then was elected to the michigan house of representatives and in 2010 to the michigan senate as a member of the u.s house appropriations committee representative molina sits on the agriculture subcommittee and the labor health and human service education subcommittee's two subcommittees critical to the foundational bedrock and the future of the spartan community but since your days in the on on how science based on technology and now in your leadership position in appropriations we really appreciate your support and um your support's been invaluable in bringing effort to a conclusion thank you for being here representative molina we look forward to your remarks [Applause] well thank you very much tom and i appreciated the tour a while back and i just want to greet my colleagues it's great to be with you we're all going to be rushing to the airport after today um secretary under secretary mr president uh what a wonderful celebration this is and what a great investment and a great place to invest you know i have to confess i'm not a michigan state graduate but i have a daughter who recently graduated from michigan state and a son who's currently enrolled and the one question i had was when they say go green aren't we supposed to say go white or how does that work am i missing that all right okay i just wanted to make sure but it's uh you know as someone i grew up in a community that really valued science it was midland michigan and dow chemical was located there and for me i ended up being a chemistry graduate and the reason i went into that is because i could see people involved in science and there were people who came alongside me and helped me learn math and science and i wasn't intimidated by it one of the great things about this is that you're going to have the next generation coming up not intimidated by science but welcoming the opportunity to participate in science and mentors who will be around who can guide them on an international basis and to me that's very exciting it's a great investment you know i think now more than ever we're valuing and appreciating the importance that science plays in our lives and the importance of mobilizing the scientific community to work on some of the great challenges we face as a country and right here we're at the cutting edge and i'm grateful to be part of this today and i just want to say congratulations to the entire spartan community and go green all right thank you very much [Applause] well thank you representative molina so now i'm honored to introduce undersecretary for science paul de barr under secretary debar as the department's principal advisor on fundamental energy research energy technologies and science driving this mission through the programs including nuclear and high energy particle physics basic energy advanced computing fusion biological and environmental research and the direct management of a majority of the department's national labs and their world leading user facilities under secretary the bar also leads technology commercialization activities for the department and its national labs a former nuclear submarine officer he has traveled to both the north pole and the south pole during his time in government service and you know you've proven you really go to the end of the world for science so we look forward to you pushing the limits of scientific discovery and we want to push them with you as we move closer to operating effort as a user facility with scientists here thank you for coming and we look forward to your remarks [Applause] well i like to echo all the comments that secretary bryant said about the importance of this facility and the director for really getting us there for anyone who's been in this building it's truly a national lab scale facility and waiting for some member to to actually propose that so um obviously the members who are here today thank you very much for your support for appropriations uh and i can say that uh with the strong support of the sciences and innovation coming out of congress on a very bipartisan basis and the budgets being signed by the president with with our with our investment up 32 percent since we've been in leadership uh which by the way is not unique uh nih nasa are all up on the same level i think america's in a different place on a very bipartisan basis of where we're going for innovation and driving it forward and this is obviously an excellent facility to point to it today's designation as a user facility shows our commitment to the nation for science and for nuclear physics for those you may not know the department of energy's predecessor was the manhattan project and so doe was conceived of by albert einstein in a letter to fdr in 1939 and with the founders of of our agency being niels bohr and lawrence and oppenheimer and zillard and fermi nuclear physics is the core of the department and everything that came from what we do today came from that core area so this is a continuing of the mission that started in 1939 with the manhattan project i think as everyone has heard a creation of rare isotopes has a wide degree of applications in medicine in understanding how the universe was formed uh the the 1.2 billion dollars as the secretary mentioned which included significant support by congress and the federal government by the state and a very large contribution by the university uh was uh is truly amazing for uh for a facility that's not on a national lab and uh uh and it is wonderful to to be continuing to work with president stanley as he mentioned was mentioned he was uh the the manager of brookhaven national lab uh and so his experience of us working together on yet another extremely large user facility we very much appreciate working with him going forward on this so thank you for your leadership here and also previously the national lab complex so thank you [Applause] and was mentioned this was completed on time and on budget i'd like to point to point that out to the members i can never say that enough as the secretary said uh because our job is not only to do what we do for science but do it well uh so that the investment of the american people can be seen as being spent well and being managed well and i think that this team has done a wonderful job and shows and shows that this department can go ahead and do that um there are many different applications obviously for this i'd like to point out on one that i was talking about earlier with the with the team that was here uh during the manufacturing the production of isotopes has uh and and nuclear physics has broad applications for life sciences probably many of you have done a nuclear stress test for your heart to identify so that's mali 99 or tech 99 just one of the 40 elements that the doe produces every year with us in the university system that uh takes that that is there to cure cancer to do imaging of your heart in your cardiovascular system i've had it done myself and without that and what the investment here and going forward because it's not just about the 40 that we produce right now at doe and at facilities like this which this will be the number one in the world was that currently we have 20 different isotopes under research that could be used for future cancer treatments so this facility will help cure cancer this this facility will probably help a significant portion of you in the room to understand if you have cardiovascular disease and how do we come up with new isotopes do that that's just one example of what we do and obviously as other applications for isotopes they're done for radiography for pipeline for oil and gas drilling for nuclear propulsion which is obviously my background and nuclear power associated with that so there are there are great applications associated with this and with this day and this dedication this brings this facility into the dua national lab complex the greatest complex uh adding to the 60 000 people who work at the 17 national labs this is really a national lab scale and the sort of record that this will bring here uh we certainly hope will will continue the overall record of the department i'll give you one example 40 of all the nobel prizes in physics in the world were done at the national labs people who worked at the national labs are funded by doe and 25 of the nobel prizes and chemistry in the world were supported by the department and i expect president stanley that there's a possibility there's a nobel prize coming out of this facility is that something you're going to commit to okay uh and justice last year uh the nobel prize for lithium-ion chemistry which obviously affects our everyday life came out of doe and so this department and this facility is joining has a long history there's been my count four national projects in technology that have changed the world they've all been in america and the four have been the manhattan project the apollo program the digital revolution and the human genome project and if you think about those great those great national projects and investment of the federal government academia and the private sector this facility was a direct uh derivative of one the first one uh which was the manhattan project and we look forward to this facility contributing so uh under the president's leadership bipartisan and congress the office of science and academia and the state i think this is a great example of america pushing the bounds for economic impact national security impact and for scientific discovery so thank you everyone so thank you under secretary of the borough so at this point we invite back president stanley and secretary burlett to take to be positioned next to the plaque and then after that we invite all the speakers back on stage for another photo uh [Applause] so if all of you can join us for one more photo that would be great you
