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 recent progress on our multiscale modeling to understand radiation damage processes in materials during irradiation is reviewed. The energies of He-V cluster formation in Fe were evaluated using a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique that employed interatomic potentials partially developed by first-principle (FP) calculations. Using the calculated energies, the longer timescale behavior of He-V clusters in Fe was investigated using a kinetic Monte-Carlo (KMC) simulation technique. The FP-MD-KMC scheme provided us significant information on the thermal stability of a He-V cluster in Fe as a function of the helium-to-vacancy ratio of the cluster.
