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 Godunov scheme is proposed for the simulation of impact problems and detonations where nonstationary fronts and interfaces are tracked as boundaries of subregions that move in time. In each subregion and at each time step, a new grid is created by the use of boundary-fitted coordinates. The numerical method is based on a finite-volume approach in the space-time domain, and the fluxes are calculated using the solution of Riemann problems. Numerical results are shown for several impact and detonation problems, showing the efficiency of this approach.
