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 two energy group model is proposed in this paper for studying the criticality of a slab of finite thickness in the framework of neutron transport theory. The system of the two stationary Boltzmann equations which, in the case of isotropic scattering, govern the flux distributions of the two neutron groups, is first solved by a Fourier transform technique. Explicit series expressions are then derived for the angular as well as for the total flux distributions in the interior and at the boundary of the critical slab. These series expressions are shown by numerical calculations to be rapidly convergent to the required solutions of the problem under examination. Results for the critical parameter and for the total and angular flux distributions are at last reported.
