Nieh confirmed for the NRC
Earlier today, the U.S. Senate officially confirmed Ho Nieh in a 66–32 vote to serve as a commissioner on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission through the remainder of a term that will expire June 30, 2029. All present Republicans, alongside 15 Democrats and one Independent, cast their votes in favor of Nieh, who was nominated by President Trump in July and fills the seat left vacant following the dismissal of former commissioner Christopher Hanson.
NRC details: The commission leading the NRC now comprises four members. Nieh joins Chair David Wright and commissioners Bradley Crowell and Matthew Marzano. One spot remains unfilled after the resignation of Annie Caputo in July. President Trump nominated Douglas Weaver earlier this month to fill Caputo’s seat.

The objective of the work is the determination of the importance of transport effects in subcritical systems driven by an oscillated neutron source. The transport equation is solved in the frequency domain for two-dimensional source-driven systems, using the discrete ordinates method. Some problems connected with the application of synthetic acceleration procedures for the solution of the transport equation in the frequency domain are addressed. Comparisons between transport and diffusion results allow identification of physical situations (multiplying system geometry and material characteristics) in which transport effects could be important for a certain range of the frequency of the source.
