Construction and installation of technical equipment is progressing rapidly. In particular commissioning of the Front End has already been completed successfully using a dedicated 14 GHz ECR Ion source and preparation for the acceleration of the beam through the first 3 linac cryomodules are underway. In the meantime construction and testing of a new superconducting magnet for a 28 GHz ECR Ion source was completed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and the cold mass delivered to FRIB in January 2018 with an overall completion of the ion source expected by August 2019. This paper review the progress on the 28 GHz ion source construction and the work done during the commissioning of the Front End. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
