A facility for measuring cross-sections (resonance strengths) for reactions of astrophysical importance involving short-lived, radioactive reactants has been designed, built and installed at the new TRIUMF-ISAC Radioactive Beams Laboratory in Canada. Named DRAGON (Detector of Recoils And Gamma-rays of Nuclear reactions), it has been successfully commissioned with stable and radioactive heavy ion beams from ISAC. This report presents the main components of the facility, namely, the windowless gas target, the surrounding /γ detector array, the subsequent electromagnetic recoil mass separator, the focal plane detectors for recoils, the detection system for elastics, and the modular electronics and computer software used for the data acquisition. Examples of the operation of the facility for both stable beam reactions and the first radioactive beam reaction study, 21Na(p,γ)22Mg are also presented, along with future plans for the program.
