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 influence of temperature and gas composition on hydrogen isotope separation factors of membrane cascade with reflux ratio of 0.9998 and different palladium alloy membranes were studied. Separation factors for H-D mixture with different palladium alloy membranes varies from 1.31 to 1.42 at different temperatures, and for H-D-T mixture with Pd-8.6%Y alloy membrane, the factors are 1.2 to 2.0 at different temperatures. The results suggest advantages of operating the cell at high temperature because the higher permeation rate and separation factor at high temperature will lead to a great decrease in the separation stages and membrane area of a separation unit.
