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.

Cross sections for the 52Cr(n,p)52V reaction have been determined in the 5.3- to 9-MeV range using a previously reported pulsed-accelerator technique to measure gamma-ray activity from 3.75-m 52V. Very few experimental data have been reported for this reaction, and little was known about the threshold region prior to the present experiment. The results of this work (in conjunction with other available cross-section information) have been used in the computation of fission-spectrum averages, which are of interest for reactor applications.
