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.

Angular penetration gamma-ray spectra have been measured from a 60Co source in point and plane geometries with both homogeneous and heterogeneous combinations of various thicknesses of iron and concrete slabs. The results are presented in the form of angular flux as a function of angle of deviation for particular secondary energies. The pseudoequilibrium behavior, with regard to penetration depth, of the angular spectra from certain source geometries was observed, and methods are suggested as to how this property could be incorporated in a gamma-ray transport code.
