The Canadian Neutron Beam Centre (CNBC) is a Major Resource for materials research, operated by the National Research Council of Canada at Chalk River Laboratories.   This laboratory is centred around five neutron scattering instruments, each with a capital replacement value of about $5M.  The neutron instruments are attached to the NRU research reactor, which is operated by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL).  Over 80% of neutron instrument time is devoted to research projects led by external users:  scientists, engineers and students from over 50 departments in universities across Canada, industries, government labs and more than 100 foreign research institutions.   Canadian academic research carried out at the neutron beam laboratory spans disciplines such as condensed-matter physics, chemistry, biophysics, materials science and engineering.  Neutron scattering experiments provide unique and important knowledge about materials at the molecular or nano-structure scales.  Access to the neutron beam laboratory is granted on the basis of scientific merit.  Proposals are reviewed by subject-oriented committees, whose members are drawn from the Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering (CINS).  CINS represents over 400 individual members and 15 institutional members.  It oversees the management of NSERC MRS funds by the CNBC, supports outreach events (such as a neutron scattering summer school), and provides leadership and advocacy for funding proposals associated with this Major Resource.

加拿大中子束中心（CNBC）是加拿大国家研究委员会在Chalk River Laboratories运营的材料研究的主要资源。该实验室以五种中子散射仪器为中心，每种仪器的资本替代价值约为500万美元。中子仪器附着在NRU研究反应堆上，该反应堆由加拿大原子能有限公司（AECL）运行。超过80％的中子仪器时间专门致力于由外部用户领导的研究项目：来自加拿大大学，工业，政府实验室以及100多个外国研究机构的50多个系的科学家，工程师和学生。加拿大的学术研究在中子束实验室进行了跨越学科的学科，例如凝结物理，化学，生物物理学，材料科学和工程。中子散射实验在分子或纳米结构尺度上提供了有关材料的独特而重要的知识。基于科学功绩，授予了中子束实验室的访问。提案由主题委员会审查，其成员是从加拿大中子散射研究所（CINS）提取的。 CIN代表400多名成员和15名机构成员。它监督了CNBC对NSERC MRS资金的管理，支持外展活动（例如中子散落的暑期学校），并为与此主要资源相关的资金提案提供领导和倡导。
