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.

Green’s function nodal expansion method (GNEM) is developed for the efficient numerical solution of the multidimensional neutron diffusion equation. It is an improved version of the nodal expansion method (NEM) and the nodal Green’s function method (NGFM). The node interior fluxes are approximated by a high-order polynomial expansion as in NEM. The nodal surface fluxes are coupled with the net currents by using the Green’s function method to improve accuracy. The GNEM computer code is encoded and tested. The numerical results demonstrate that GNEM has the same accuracy as NGFM while it is twice as fast as NGFM.
