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 monoenergetic transport equation with isotropic scattering and vacuum boundary conditions is applied to two-media spherical and plane systems. The mean-free-path is assumed to be the same even though the multiplication factors are different in both media. The two coupled integral equations that are obtained are numerically solved using the spatial Legendre polynomial method (Carlvik’s method). Tables of seven or more eigenvalues for various dimensions of the bodies are given, and the first five flux modes for some cases are plotted. In addition, for homogeneous systems, we present more accurate and higher eigenvalues than those thus far known.
