NRC to issue new Part 61 rules for low-level waste disposal
Continuing its breakneck pace of introducing new rules and proposals, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission last week announced that it was proposing to amend its regulations under 10 CFR Part 61 governing the land disposal of low-level radioactive waste.
The proposed rule, which introduces a new risk-informed framework for LLW disposal in which sites can develop waste acceptance criteria based on site-specific characteristics, is one of several rules the NRC is seeking to finalize and issue in response to Executive Order 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.”

Charles Goodman
The continuing development of HPC capabilities in recent years opened up many opportunities to address many thermal hydraulic problems in reactor systems using high resolution methodologies. The panelists will discuss the recent advancements in using HPC to simulate the reactor flows using high resolution approaches, such as DNS, LES and interface capturing techniques. Future outlook of a wider range of TH problems that can be tackled in the next decade will be discussed.
