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.

A computer routine was written to enable an efficient, yet accurate, interpolation of the basic probabilities required in integral transport calculations of single lattice, as well as multicell, structures. These are The tables within which the routine interpolates contain remainders between accurate probabilities to respective analytical approximations. There are ∼4000 entries for a cylindrical or spherical geometry and 50 for slab geometry. The accuracy is generally within a few tenths of a percent relative error for all the probabilities and can be much lower. The range of optical thicknesses covered is 0 to 20. All the probabilities required for a given layer can be generated on a CRA Y-XMP in a 5 × 10-6 s. A single Dancoff probability can be generated in ∼2.7 × 10-6 s.
