NRC proposes changes to its rules on nuclear materials
In response to Executive Order 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” the NRC is proposing sweeping changes to its rules governing the use of nuclear materials that are widely used in industry, medicine, and research. The changes would amend NRC regulations for the licensing of nuclear byproduct material, some source material, and some special nuclear material.
As published in the May 18 Federal Register, the NRC is seeking public comment on this proposed rule and draft interim guidance until July 2.

Session Organizer:
Jonathan B. Balog (Penn State University)
How does one blaze a trail for others to follow, especially when you may be the only one from your hometown to think about entering nuclear engineering/science? Panelists will discuss, through their extensive experience, how outreach through nuclear science related activities as well as other efforts can help give back to the communities we call home as well as leave a path for others to follow in.
