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.

The eigensolutions of the multigroup neutron transport equation for the isotropic scattering medium in plane geometry are found by developing Case's method. The solution of the adjoint equation is also given in an explicit form. The completeness of the eigensolutions is proved by using the orthogonality relation to the adjoint solution. The degeneracy for the continuous eigenvalue is expressed in two ways: the unit vector system and the eigenvector system. In the latter case the orthogonality is formed, and the eigenvector system is thought of as a proper normal mode. As an application of this method, the infinite medium Green's function is constructed.
