Shanghai light source proposal endorsed
The State Development and Reform Commission recently gave the go-ahead for a project proposal on the establishment of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), which was jointly made by CAS and the Shanghai Municipal Government.
A third generation synchrotron light source, SSRF consists of a 100 MeV linac, a 3.5GeV booster, a 3.5GeV storage ring and seven beam lines and experimental stations. Its total investment will be 1.2 billion yuan (about US$144.5 million), which will be equally shared by the central government, Shanghai Government and CAS. To be located in Zhangjiang High-tech Park, Shanghai, the facility will be completed in 52 months.
