NIST-7

NIST-7 was the atomic clock used by the United States from 1993 to 1999.

It was one of a series of Atomic Clocks [1] at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Eventually, it achieved an uncertainty of 5 × 10−15.

The caesium beam clock served as the nation's primary time and frequency standard during that time period, but it has since been replaced with the more accurate NIST-F1, a caesium fountain[2] atomic clock that neither gains nor loses one second in 100 million years.
