A panel of experts from the National Research Council evaluated the NCNR by the following criteria: (1) the technical merit of the current laboratory programs relative to the current state of the art worldwide; (2) the adequacy of the laboratory 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. This book finds that NCNR is an extremely reliable and comprehensive neutron scattering facility. Even as the other neutron source in the nation-the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS)-becomes increasingly operational and the Oak Ridge High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) comes back online, the NCNR will continue to be a vital resource for meeting the broad spectrum of user needs for and scientific objectives related to neutron scattering. 606 $aNeutrons 606 $aNuclear facilities$zUnited States 606 $aNuclear physics$xResearch$zUnited States 615 0$aNeutrons. 615 0$aNuclear facilities 615 0$aNuclear physics$xResearch 676 $a539.7213 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPanel on Neutron Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964304003321 996 $aAn assessment of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research$94471361 997 $aUNINA
