Ho Nieh, TVA board members, and nuclear fuel recycling bill head to Senate floor
Nieh
Ho Nieh, the Trump administration’s nominee to be a member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and four new board members of the Tennessee Valley Authority were approved in a vote today by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and head to the Senate floor for a final vote.
The committee also voted to advance to the Senate floor the Nuclear REFUEL Act of 2025 (S. 2082), which would smooth the regulatory pathway for recycling used nuclear fuel.
President Donald nominated Nieh on July 30 to serve as NRC commissioner for the remainder of a term set to expire June 30, 2029, which was held by former NRC commissioner Chris Hanson, who Trump fired in June.

We propose an optical sensing based neutron streak camera for ICF burn studies. The conversion of the neutron flux to optical signal is gained through measuring the time dependent optical attenuation (darkening) of a fissile material doped fiber optics. The miniature sensor enables a sensing distance of > 2 cm from the target, such that the neutron doppler broadening can be neglected. An additional major advantage over the current designs is that the streak camera is removed from the intense radiation field. Estimates of minimum yield requirements, darkening time response, and overall temporal resolution are presented.
