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.

A simple method for the measurement of the loss of deuteron energy in a solid Ti-T target of a neutron generator is described. The method is based on a comparison of the results of measurements of the full-width at half-maximum of the peak in the spectrum of a collimated T(d,n)4He neutron beam directed at nominal angles of O and 95 deg to the neutron generator axis. The average deuteron energy loss in the solid Ti-T target is estimated to be (58.5 ± 4.0) keV at 150-kV nominal accelerating voltage of the neutron generator. The neutron spectrum measurements were carried out by a 2- × 2-in. NE-213 liquid scintillator. The proton recoil spectra created in the liquid scintillator were unfolded into the neutron energy spectra with the FORIST unfolding code.
