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.

Electron distribution function in experiments with intensive beam-plasma interaction is usually non-Maxwellian with high-energy tail. Details of such distribution function can clarify physics of the beam-plasma interaction process. The paper presents new experimental data from Thomson scattering measurements at GOL-3.
