NRC proposes security regulation changes
In 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14300, “‘Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” which directs the NRC to conduct a sweeping, multifaceted overhaul of its structure, culture, and regulations with the aim of facilitating increased deployment of new nuclear technologies and capacity.

Thomson scattering diagnostics has been updated to allow measurements at two instants of time for either of two spatial points in plasma during a single plasma discharge. Laser produces now two 15J laser pulses with variable (0.2–100s) delay between them. It was made possible by integration into previous laser system a second independent laser oscillator. Multichannel spectral measurements of scattered radiation can be accomplished at two spatial locations simultaneously, at z1 = 4m from the input of electron beam into plasma (old location) and at z2 = 2m (new location). Three geometries of measurement are possible: a single radial point at each of plasma cross-sections at z1 and z2 or two radial points at either cross-sections at z1 or z2. Number of radial points is limited by number of available detector channels (15ch) now. We present first experimental results with 90° detection of scattered radiation with upgraded system.
