This award provides 60% of the funds required to modernize the X- ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer operated in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of South Carolina. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds. The XRF laboratory is used to obtain chemical analyses (major and trace elements) of rock and mineral samples in support of research projects and teaching in earth sciences at the University of South Carolina. It is presently using a twelve year old instrument which has been kept in a good state of repair. The modest upgrade supported by this award will bring its capabilities to a level comparable with modern equipment.

该合同为南卡罗莱纳大学地质科学系运行的X射线荧光（XRF）光谱仪提供现代化所需资金的60%。大学承诺提供剩余的资金。XRF实验室用于获得岩石和矿物样品的化学分析（主要和微量元素），以支持南卡罗来纳大学的研究项目和地球科学教学。它目前使用的是一台12岁的仪器，一直保持在良好的维修状态。该合同支持的适度升级将使其能力达到与现代设备相当的水平。
