A new radioactive beam facility for ATLAS,the Californium Rare Ion Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU), is under construction.The facility will use fission fragments from a 1 Ci ~(252)Cf source;thermalized and collected into a low-energy beam by a helium gas catcher.In order to reaccelerate these beams,the existing ATLAS ECR-I ion source is being redesigned to function as a charge breeder source.The design and features of this charge breeder configuration is discussed and the project status described.
