NRC provides timeline update on rules, meeting EO deadline
Last May, President Trump issued Executive Order (EO) 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” which mandated that the NRC review and overhaul its rules within 18 months of the EO being issued.
At a public meeting on Thursday, NRC officials shared details and an overview of the rulemaking process, saying that they were on target to have these rules ready by the November 23 deadline.

Based on the experimental data of the total, nonelastic-scattering, and elastic-scattering cross sections and the elastic-scattering angular distribution of 209Bi, a set of optimal neutron optical potential parameters is obtained, and all cross sections of the neutron-induced reaction, angular distribution, energy spectra, gamma-ray production cross sections, and gamma-ray production energy spectra, especially the double-differential cross section for neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, and alpha-particle emission, are calculated and analyzed for n + 209Bi at incident neutron energies <20 MeV. Theoretical calculated data are compared with existing experimental data and other evaluated data from ENDF/B6 and JENDL-3.
