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 transport equation is formulated against a moving background in the presence of external forces using the effective cross section and source formalism. One-dimensional slab and spherical geometries and two-dimensional cylindrical geometry are treated. Material acceleration terms are expanded, effective cross sections are generated, and moving sources are defined. Legendre expansions that can be coupled to standard multigroup cross sections and sources are suggested. Multigroup representations for the acceleration terms are also obtained. Specific applications are presented and contrasted. The treatment is appropriate for Eulerian reference frames.
