The in terms of cesium oscillations is defined by the ITU and is used most
places the gps type precision is required.
see: http://www.bldrdoc.gov/timefreq/faq/faq.htm
for all the nist answers to your questions.
"The latest generation of atomic clocks can keep time with an accuracy
equivalent to neither losing or gaining more than 1 second in 6 million
years. Its version of a "pendulum" is a natural oscillation frequency
of a cesium atom. The second is defined as exactly 9,192,631,770 of
these atomic oscillations."
