NRC proposes changes to its rules on nuclear materials
In response to Executive Order 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” the NRC is proposing sweeping changes to its rules governing the use of nuclear materials that are widely used in industry, medicine, and research. The changes would amend NRC regulations for the licensing of nuclear byproduct material, some source material, and some special nuclear material.
As published in the May 18 Federal Register, the NRC is seeking public comment on this proposed rule and draft interim guidance until July 2.

An integral transformation technique and the FN method are used to solve, for the case of isotropic scattering, the albedo problem and the internal-source problem relevant to neutron transport theory for a bare cylinder of infinite length. The neutron flux distribution and the neutron current distributions are found with five or six figures of accuracy and are tabulated for selected illustrative cases. In addition, selected results for the albedo are reported with an accuracy of eight to ten significant figures.
