The DRAGON facility at the ISAC accelerated radioactive beams facility (in Vancouver, Canada) is now operational and has completed it first study, the direct measurement of the previously unknown rate of the radiative proton capture reaction of the radioactive species, ^21Na. This reaction plays an important role in the production of the possibly observable (in the universe) radioisotope,^22Na and the resonance strength of 5 states have now been measured. DRAGON has proven to be an optimal facility for performing radiative capture reactions both with radioactive and stable heavy ion beams. The main emphasis of this presentation will be a review of the facility, its capabilities, the results of the first completed study, and the planned scientific program involving reactions in the hot CNO cycle, the hot NeNa cycle, the MgAl cycle and others in the rp process, as well as the important ^12C(α,γ)^16O reaction. Time permitting, a review of the other facilities present and planned at ISAC for studies of nuclear astrophysics at ISAC will also be presented.
