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.

Yields and spectra of neutrons produced in the bombardment of light nuclei by deuterons of energies up to 20 MeV were measured in order to investigate the usefulness of the reactions as high-intensity neutron sources. Neutrons emitted at angles up to 32 deg were studied for thin targets of deuterium and beryllium, and for thick targets of lithium, beryllium, and carbon.
