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 six 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 85% of neutron instrument time is devoted to research projects led by external users: scientists, engineers and students from over 60 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 500 individual members and 16 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）是材料研究的主要资源，由加拿大国家研究理事会在乔克河实验室运营。 该实验室以六台中子散射仪器为中心，每台仪器的资本重置价值约为500万美元。 中子仪器安装在NRU研究反应堆上，该反应堆由加拿大原子能有限公司（AECL）运营。 超过85%的中子仪器时间用于外部用户领导的研究项目：来自加拿大60多个大学部门的科学家，工程师和学生，工业，政府实验室和100多个外国研究机构。 在中子束实验室进行的加拿大学术研究涉及凝聚态物理、化学、生物物理、材料科学和工程等学科。 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。 进入中子束实验室是根据科学价值。 提案由面向主题的委员会审查，委员会成员来自加拿大中子散射研究所。 CINS代表500多名个人成员和16个机构成员。 它监督CNBC对NSERC MRS资金的管理，支持外联活动（如中子散射暑期学校），并为与此主要资源相关的资金提案提供领导和宣传。
