Section 308 of the Department of Energy Research and Innovation Act ( 42 U.S.C. 18646 ) is amended— by redesignating subsection
(b)as subsection (d); and by striking subsection
(a)and inserting the following: As part of the activities authorized under section 209 of the Department of Energy Organization Act ( 42 U.S.C. 7139 ), the Director shall carry out a research program, and support relevant facilities, to discover and understand various forms of nuclear matter. The Secretary shall support construction of a Facility for Rare Isotope Beams to advance the understanding of rare nuclear isotopes and the evolution of the cosmos. Out of funds authorized to be appropriated under subsection (c), there are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary to carry out construction of the facility under this subsection $2,000,000 for fiscal year 2022. The Secretary shall, subject to the availability of appropriations, ensure that the start of full operations of the facility under this section occurs before March 1, 2022. The Secretary shall support construction of an Electron Ion Collider as described in the 2015 Long Range Plan of the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee and the report from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine titled An Assessment of U.S.-Based Electron-Ion Collider Science , in order to measure the internal structure of the proton and the nucleus and answer fundamental questions about the nature of visible matter. The Secretary shall ensure that the facility meets the requirements in the 2015 Long Range Plan, including— at least 70 percent polarized beams of electrons and light ions; ion beams from deuterium to the heaviest stable nuclei; variable center of mass energy from 20 to 140 GeV; high collision luminosity of 10 33–34 cm -2 s -1 ; and the possibility of more than one interaction region. The Secretary shall, subject to the availability of appropriations, ensure that the start of full operations of the facility under this section occurs before December 31, 2030. Out of funds authorized to be appropriated under subsection (c), there are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary to carry out construction of the facility under this subsection— $101,000,000 for fiscal year 2022; $155,000,000 for fiscal year 2023; $250,000,000 for fiscal year 2024; $300,000,000 for fiscal year 2025; and $305,000,000 for fiscal year 2026.
