Florida State University has had an active tandem Van de Graaff program in nuclear physics since 1960 when the Model EN tandem was installed. The installation of a Super FN tandem in 1970 upgraded the voltage available to 9.5 MV and enabled the program to move effectively into the area of heavy ion experimentation. Development of a practical inverted sputter source at Florida State enhanced the variety of available ion beams and thereby the vitality of the program. The laboratory is steadily becoming a more regional facility as other laboratories are shut down and replaced with national facilities with great demands on their beam time. Because of heavy schedules, the national laboratories are less effective in the training of students than university laboratories which characteristically undertake longer and more involved experiments.
