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.

Neutron spectra have been measured by the time-of-flight method from 1 eV to 2 keV at various positions across depleted uranium and borated polyethylene in slab geometry with an energy resolution of 0.9% at 6.68 eV. The observed behavior around the 6.68-eV resonance in 238U has been compared with the predictions of the transport theory code 1DF in S4 and S6 approximations using different quadratures and spatial representations. The space-averaged flux has been calculated with the slowing down code GAROL. The 1DF calculations agree reasonably well with experiment and the GAROL values.
