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.

Hydrolysis constants of the zinc ion were measured at 25, 50, 75, 185, 200, and 225°C through the direct measurement of pH using pH sensors, especially of the yttria-stabilized zirconia membrane-type in the case of high temperatures over 185°C, and evaluation was done on the temperature dependence of the hydrolysis constants of the zinc ion. Solubilities of zinc oxide in pure oxygenated water were measured at 150, 200, and 250°C. Equilibrium constants of zinc oxide dissolution and the values of Gf0(Zn2+) at each temperature were estimated by thermodynamic analysis applying the estimated hydrolysis constants to the solubility data of ZnO.
