There remain challenges associated with the shutdown that would occur regardless of its timing, but these will be easier to address given the additional time resulting from the delay. These challenges include coordinating with other neutron facilities to provide access to current NIST users, thoughtful and careful use of staff resources during the outage, and the building of stronger interactions within NIST and with the soft-matter and biological communities outside of NIST.

In particular, the ANSTO aspires to be number three among reactor sources, and its aggressive operating schedule of 340 days per year, if achieved, will be hard to match. The fact that NCNR management anticipates that the scientific and technical research services funds for the Expansion Project will continue beyond the time line of the project and be used for continual instrumentation renewal is welcome in this regard.

From page 7... ...
The NCNR instrument suite is well matched to future needs in materials and lowenergy nuclear research. In particular, the facility management is anticipating a shift toward energy materials research; the NCNR should monitor national directions in this area, including materials for nuclear power, to ensure that the suite of instruments continues to evolve to meet national needs.
