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.

The new energy recovery method using secondary electron emission has been studied in order to improve energy recovery from high energy protons of fusion products in D-3He nuclear fusion generation. The model experiments were performed by using the tandem electrostatic accelerator and the basic characteristics were investigated. According to our results, for penetration aluminum is better as a target material than copper, H+ is better than He2+, and higher energy beam is better which agree with numerical calculations. A qualitative characteristic of secondary electron emission dependence on beam energy was also obtained.
