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.

The formalism of the exact DSN method, also called the I* method, is recalled. A fully analytical integration is proposed to compute the three-dimensional array I*(k, l, m), which is the crucial point of such a theory. Comparisons with the numerical quadratures proposed so far show that a significant CPU time savings is achieved (a factor of 1000 for S8), and, moreover, a few symmetry properties relax the storage requirements by a factor of ∼4.
