Advisory Committee Rates NMT as "Outstanding/Excellent"

The results of the 1995 Science and Technology Assessment for NMT Division were announced in the NMT Division Review Committee's (DRC's) final report delivered to Laboratory Director Sig Hecker in late January. The charter of each DRC, appointed by the Laboratory Director, is to assess a given division's science and technology and to advise the Director and Division Director on important issues. The overall Laboratory Science and Technology Assessment based on the various DRC reports is then presented to the Science and Technology Panel of the University of California President's Council on the National Laboratories. The NMT Division's accomplishments were highly praised during the review period, July 1, 1994, to June 30, 1995. The Committee noted dramatic improvements on all fronts with an "outstanding/excellent" rating in the division's overall performance. The next Division Review is slated for March 1997. The main themes will be "Stockpile Stewardship" and the "Space Mission."
