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.

Consistent evaluation of the 232Th capture cross section is performed in the energy range from 4 keV to 5 MeV. The Hauser-Feshbach-Moldauer theory and coupled channel optical model are employed. Total, differential scattering, fission, and inelastic scattering data are consistently reproduced as a major constraint for the capture cross-section estimate. Average resonance parameters are obtained, which are consistent with the capture cross-section database.
