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 linear Fokker-Planck equation characterizing charged-particle transport in a fully ionized plasma has been solved in one-dimensional spherical geometry by the techniques of Fourier transformation and Legendre expansion. The vacuum boundary condition at the plasma surface has been treated by appending to the plasma a fictitious medium in which angular dispersion is absent. The solution technique has been applied to the problem of alpha-particle slowing down in a fully ionized inertial confinement fusion plasma.
