The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU) is currently constructing its new rare isotope reaccelerator facility: ReA3, which will provide unique low-energy rare isotope beams by stopping fast rare isotopes in gas stopping systems, boosting the charge state in an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) and reaccelerating them in a superconducting linac. The rare isotope beams will be producted intially by Coupled Cyclotron Facility (CCF) at NSCL and later by Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), currently being designed and constructed at MSU. The accelerator system consists of a Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), a room temperature RFQ and a linac utilizing superconducting QWRs. An achromatic High Energy Beam Transport (HEBT) will deliver the reaccelerated beams to the mutiple target stations. Beams from ReA3 will range from 3 MeV/u for heavy nuclei such as uranium to about 6 MeV/u for ions with A<50. The commissioning of the EBIT, RFQ and two cryomodules of the linac is currently underway. The ReA3 accelerator system design and status of commissioning will be presented.
