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.

Correlations for the dryout heat flux for sodium in tube and grid bundles have been developed based on experimental results and analytical considerations. The main feature of these correlations is that they are derived from thermal, hydrodynamic, and geometrical parameters. These parameters are the subcooling, the inlet and outlet vapor quality, the mass flow rate, the latent heat of vaporization, and the aspect ratio. The correlation proposed for tube geometries is developed from a data base of 170 data points compiled from 11 sources, and the correlation for flow through rod bundles is derived from the results of 13 tests.
