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.

Minimum film boiling temperature data obtained on 19- and 25-mm-diam spheres quenched in subcooled water are used to establish a relationship between the temperature of the hot molten material and the subcooled liquid for the occurrence of coherent thermal interactions. This relationship is then used to explain the various kinds of interactions observed in laboratory scale experiments conducted with molten tin, aluminum, steel, and glass.
