... In order to accomplish the assessment, the NRC assembled a panel of 13 volunteers whose expertise matched that of the work performed by the NCNR staff.3 The panel members visited the NCNR facility at Gaithersburg, Maryland, for a day and a half, during which time they attended presentations, tours, demonstrations, and interactive 2 The nine NIST laboratories are the Building and Fire Research Laboratory, the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology, the Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory, the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory, the Information Technology Laboratory, the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory, the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory, the NIST Center for Neutron Research, and the Physics Laboratory. 3 See http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/ for more information on NCNR programs.

... The rest of this report is organized in five brief chapters: "General Assessment of the NIST Center for Neutron Research," "Science and Technology at the Center," "Facilities and Human Resources," "The Center as a User Facility," and "Conclusions." The three chapters following the "General Assessment" address the criteria that the NIST Director requested the panel to include in its assessment. The progress of all of the FY 2007-funded initiatives relevant to the ACI and the America COMPETES Act is discussed in a section in the chapter "Facilities and Human Resources." Detailed information on NCNR activities and programs can be found on the NCNR Web site, www.ncnr.nist.gov, or in published documents.
