NRC adopts ROP updates
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved a significant overhaul of its Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) baseline inspection program that stresses a leaner, more risk-focused inspection process.
This adoption comes just over a month after NRC officials published their findings on the proposed ROP changes. The changes would reduce the number of hours spent annually on direct inspections at U.S. nuclear power plants by 38 percent.

The paper reviews the latest results of the numerical optimization of the powerful 14 MeV neutron source based on gas dynamic trap (GDT). Further experiments on the existing GDT device in Novosibirsk, which are planned to prove the key physical issues of the plasma confinement in the neutron source, are also discussed in the paper
