NRC moves ahead on HALEU enrichment, rulemaking, and guidance
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is requesting comments on the regulatory basis for a proposed rule for light water reactor fuel designs featuring high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), including accident tolerant fuel (ATF) designs, and on draft guidance for the environmental evaluation of ATFs containing uranium enriched up to 8 percent U-235. Some of the HALEU feedstock for those LWR fuels and for advanced reactor fuels could be produced within the first Category II fuel facility licensed by the NRC—Centrus Energy’s American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio. On September 21, the NRC approved the start of enrichment operations in the plant’s modest 16-machine HALEU demonstration cascade.

Integration and Collaboration with Other Fields: How to incorporate ideas and learning from other areas of science/engineering outside of mathematics, computational science, and computational nuclear engineering. Although everything we do as part of the nuclear mathematics and computation world is amazing (at least we like to think so), we as a field can gain great benefit from incorporating ideas from other fields of science and engineering outside of our traditional resource fields. This benefit can come from incorporating methods and ideas from published research as well as through collaboration. Panelists will explore best practices, examples, and lessons learned based on experiences incorporating developments from other fields of science and engineering outside of our typical areas of mathematics, applied mathematics, computer science, and of course, computational nuclear engineering. The questions we hope to discuss in this roundtable will include: What other applied fields should we be partnering with and looking to learn from? How do we better collaborate and learn from other fields of research? Are there resources/practices that could enable better collaboration among these applied computational fields?
