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.

Triton angular distributions and forward-to-backward emission ratios for the 6Li(n,t)4He reaction were measured in the incident neutron energy range from 10 eV to 325 keV using pulsed white-spectrum neutrons provided by the Geel Electron Linear Accelerator (GELINA) facility. The angular distributions were measured with a new ionization detector, which offers an advantageous 2π geometry and nanosecond timing capability. Comparison is made between the angular distribution data obtained from this work and the results of calculations based on the compound model and on a direct reaction model involving a deuteron exchange mechanism in the s-wave channel.
