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.

A crucial problem of any steady-state fusion reactor is removal of the plasma exhaust. In this addendum to the paper “About a New Fusion Reactor Scheme” [Fusion Sci. Technol., Vol. 75, p. 197 (2019)], we analyze the possibility of achieving this goal in the fusion reactor scheme by using a model C stellarator type of divertor.
