This mission is aligned with the mission of NIST, which is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve the quality of life. As requested by the Deputy Director of NIST, this book assesses NCNR, based on the following criteria: (1) the technical merit of the current laboratory programs relative to current state-of-the-art programs worldwide; (2) the adequacy of the laboratory budget, facilities, equipment, and human resources, as they affect the quality of the laboratory technical programs; and (3) the degree to which the laboratory programs in measurement science and standards achieve their stated objectives and desired impact.Nuclear physicsResearchStandardsUnited StatesNuclear facilitiesUnited StatesNuclear physicsResearchStandardsNuclear facilities539.72130720National Research Council (U.S.).Panel on Neutron Research.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968624003321Assessment of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research4481027UNINA
