| + | ==== How much water does the laboratory use? ==== | ||
| + | //(from Brad Bull)// Our estimated annual usage is about 36M gallons. Peak is 250k a day during the hottest time of year. Most of the water is used for evaporative cooling (cooling towers). | ||

| + | ==== What will happen to the cyclotrons when they are removed to make way for the FRIB linac? ==== | ||
| + | //(from Brad Sherrill)// | ||
| + | They might be repurposed for other research at MSU. There are no plans to send them anywhere. | ||
