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.

Solutions are obtained for the concentration of radioactive nuclide on the walls and in the radially mixed fluid transporting the nuclide, when the fluid circulates in a closed loop system. The differential equations, which describe the mass balance of the nuclide in the system and on which the solutions are based, take into account nuclide sorption-desorption on the system walls (at constant rates) and a source which releases the radioactive nuclide (fission product) into the stream.
