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.

Investigations aimed at the development of neutron and proton cross-section evaluations for 232Th at intermediate energies in the range of 0 to 200 MeV are described. The coupled-channel optical model has been used to calculate the neutron total, elastic, and reaction cross sections and the elastic scattering angular distributions. Evaluations of the neutron and charged particle emission cross sections and of the fission cross sections have been obtained on the basis of the statistical description that includes direct, preequilibrium, and equilibrium mechanisms of nuclear reactions. The Kalbach parameterization of angular distributions has been used to describe the double-differential cross sections of emitted neutrons and charged particles in ENDF/B-VI format.
