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 Intermediate Resonance (IR) formulation of resonance absorption is extended to the temperature-dependent case by obtaining an explicit expression for the IR parameters as a function of temperature. Use is made of the tabulated J functions. The resonance integral is given in terms of a temperature-dependent J function as a function of a temperature-dependent IR parameter and represents the complete generalization of the IR formulation to the temperature-dependent case. The temperature-dependent solutions obtained are similar in analytic form to the zero-temperature solutions and they reduce to the latter in the limit of zero temperature. They also yield the correct narrow or wide resonance limits for all temperatures. The formulation using temperature-dependent IR parameters not only gives accurate temperature-dependent resonance integrals, but also gives reasonably accurate Doppler coefficients.
