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.

Hydrogen dissolves in and permeates through most materials, thus it is important to understand the permeation, diffusion and dissolution phenomena of hydrogen and its isotopes in materials. We address the problem of tritium transport in Helium Cooled Lead-Lithium (HCLL) DEMO blanket from lead-lithium breeder through different heat transfer surfaces to the environment by developing a computational code (FUS-TPC). The main features of the code are briefly described and a parametric study is performed in order to identify the most influencing parameters in terms of tritium releases into the environment and of tritium inventories. The results showed that the results are strongly affected by the tritium Sievert's constant in Lead-Lithium and the efficiency of permeation barriers.
