NRC reorganization update: Changes will begin this summer
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is moving forward with its plans to reorganize around three core business lines: new reactors, operating reactors, and nuclear materials and waste. In order to do that, the agency will establish two new offices: the Office of Advanced Reactors (OAR) and the Office of the Chief Nuclear Reactor Inspector (CNRI).

Measurements of neutron total cross sections of palladium in the energy region from 0.2 to 120 eV have been performed by using the time-of-flight method at the Pohang Neutron Facility. A group of high-purity natural palladium metallic plates with thicknesses of 0.5 and 1.0 mm is used for the neutron transmission measurement. Resonance parameters of 104Pd, 105Pd, 106Pd, 108Pd, and 110Pd in the neutron energy range below 120 eV were extracted from the transmission ratios by using the multilevel R-matrix SAMMY code. The present results are compared with the evaluated data from ENDF/B-VII.1 and previous experimental data. The statistical analysis for nearest-neighbor level spacings in 105Pd has been carried out to compare with the Wigner distribution.
