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.

A new method, utilizing a modulated neutron source operated in antisynchronism with a long counter, has been used to measure the absolute and relative delayed-neutron yields of five fissionable isotopes for neutron-induced fission at 3.1 and 14.9 MeV. The results, in units of delayed neutrons per fission, for 14.9-MeV fission are:
