[en] The ISOL facility TRISTAN II is described, and its expected capabilities on-line to the High Flux Beam Reactor (HFBR) at Brookhaven National Laboratory are discussed. In particular, the range of isotopes expected to be available and possible experimental studies of the short-lived fission-product isotopes are described. Background information consisting of an overview of the study of nuclei far from stability and a survey of existing ISOL facilities is presented in order to aid in evaluating the present status of the study of nuclei far from stability in general and the TRISTAN II facility in particular
