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.

An original method, based on the continuous circulation in a closed circuit of saturated HTO vapour, is presented. The saturated vapour are obtained by bubbling from vials containing different tritium standard solutions (IFIN-HH-TDCR method). The main difference from the usual method, elaborated by Osborne, is the use of saturated vapour, which eliminates the measurement in liquid scintillator of the recovered non-saturated vapour. Tritium Monitors type MT-1 made in IFIN-HH were calibrated. The measurements were carried out for three levels of the activity concentration: 0.0180, 0.701 and 1.73 MBq.g-1. The mean response was R=2.25.10-13 A/(MBq m-3) with a relative combined uncertainty lower than 4%. The value agrees with the result obtained with the Osborne method, ROs=2.30.10-13A/(MBq m-3) and with the estimated theoretical value, 2.29 10-13A/(MBq m-3)
