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. 606 $aNuclear physics$xResearch$xStandards$zUnited States 606 $aNuclear facilities$zUnited States 615 0$aNuclear physics$xResearch$xStandards 615 0$aNuclear facilities 676 $a539.72130720 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPanel on Neutron Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968624003321 996 $aAssessment of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research$94481027 997 $aUNINA
