From page 9...
... The management of reactor operations, maintenance, and equipment updating is being carried out with careful attention in order to ensure a high level of availability of the facility to users. The two NCNR operational groups, the Research Facility Operations Division and the Reactor Operations Engineering Division, meet prior to each shutdown to discuss the coordination required for maintenance activities.

From page 10...
... Through improved guide performance and source upgrade, the NCNR Expansion Project promises a factor-of-six more neutrons on some beam lines. This is a very significant advance, bringing intensities close to what is achieved at ILL -- the leader until now in fundamental neutron physics.

From page 11...
... Furthermore, the NCNR Expansion Project offers the possibility of further developing human resources external to the NIST complex through visiting sabbatical or joint positions. With the increased office and laboratory space, the opportunity to accommodate visitors from academia, industry, and other national laboratories will be enhanced.
