The neutron standards are reviewed with emphasis on the evaluation for ENDF/B-VI. Also discussed are the neutron spectrum of 252Cf spontaneous fission, activation cross sections for neutron flux measurement, and standards for neutron energies greater than 20 MeV. Recommendations are made for future work.
