A closer look at NRC’s proposed rule eliminating ALARA
On July 1, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission proposed removing the “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA) principle from its radiation protection regulations and replacing it with a graded approach. The agency also proposed increases to effluent dose limits and adjusting how it handles allowances for exceeding dose limits.

Moderator
In view of the decline in experimental facilities and experiments in reactor physics, our plenary session is more important than ever. It aims to present the latest advances and emphasise the crucial need for experimental data for the verification, validation and uncertainty quantification(VVUQ) of simulation tools. The aim of the plenary sessions is to present the state of the art in experimental physics at various facilities around the world and to discuss the current and future needs for experiments and experimental facilities for reactor physics.
