Neutron facilities managers meet

Abstract

Managers of the six North American neutron experimental facilities (Intense Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS) at Argonne National Laboratory, Center for Neutron Research at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Neutron Program for Materials Research of the National Research Council Canada (NRC-CNRC), High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) at Los Alamos National Laboratory) attended the inaugural meeting of the Neutron Facilities Roundtable at Los Alamos National Laboratory in January 2003. The Snteragency Working Group of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy recommended periodic meetings of the neutron facilities in their June 2002 report on the Status and Needs of Major Neutron Scattering Facilities in the United States (the report is available at http://www.ostp.gov/html/neutron.pdf).
