The CARIBU facility just conpleted an upgrade to nuCARIBU where the fission products are now obtained from neutron-induced fission of 235U instead of the spontaneous fission of 252Cf used previously. This new source is more intense and should provide access to even more exotic nuclides and allow extending the mass measurement campaigns on very neutron-rich isotopes that were performed at CARIBU over the last decade. This new campaign will use an MR-TOF spectrometer instead of the Penning trap mass spectrometer used previously, sacrificing the utmost accuracy for higher sensitivity for the shortest-lived isotopes. The novel facility and its expected reach will be presented.
