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.

The best available values of the 238U neutron capture cross section in the range of a few keV to 15 MeV are derived by evaluation of the experimental techniques and reference cross sections and, where necessary, revising and rejecting experimental values. A principal objective is to obtain 238U capture cross sections which are consistent with fission cross sections previously selected by the author and which can, therefore, be used for consistent analysis of fast reactors. All available experiments are discussed and a detailed tabulation of the individual experimental data and selected best cross sections is given.
