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.

This paper contains benchmark data for the one-group criticality problem for the uniform slab and the uniform sphere in vacuum. The data which were obtained on the basis of the results of analytical transport theory refer to the critical parameters of the system as well as the particle density inside the system.
