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.

A local model capable of simulating the cord-integrated emission of spectral lines in the TJ-II stellarator has been developed for inferring local parameters. The procedure was implemented on a numerical code, which starting from given analytical profiles of local emissivity, ion temperature, and toroidal rotation calculates the cord-integrated emission spectra along a selected line of sight. Additionally, the procedure is capable of simulating the toroidal and poloidal velocity contributions for a selected spectral line taking into account TJ-II magnetic topology. Results show good agreement between measurements and numerical simulations for the integrated intensity and ion temperature, and a consistent integrated toroidal rotation velocity, which depends on the emissivity profile.
