Abstract The driver linac for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will require the production of 48 cryomodules. FRIB has completed the fabrication and testing of a β=0.085 quarter-wave cryomodule as a pre-production prototype. This cryomodule qualified the performance of the resonators, fundamental power couplers, tuners, and cryogenic systems of the β=0.085 quarter-wave design. In addition to the successful systems qualification; the ReA6 cryomodule build also verified the FRIB bottom up assembly and alignment method. The lessons learned from the ReA6 cryomodule build, as well as valuable fabrication, sourcing, and assembly experience are applied to the design and fabrication of FRIB production cryomodules. This paper will report the results of the β=0.085 quarter-wave cryomodule testing, fabrication, and assembly; production implications to future cryomodules will also be presented. Authors:
