NRC provides timeline update on rules, meeting EO deadline
Last May, President Trump issued Executive Order (EO) 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” which mandated that the NRC review and overhaul its rules within 18 months of the EO being issued.
At a public meeting on Thursday, NRC officials shared details and an overview of the rulemaking process, saying that they were on target to have these rules ready by the November 23 deadline.

Spatial discretization methods have been developed for the low-order quasi-diffusion equations on coarse grids and corresponding homogenization procedure for full-core reactor calculations. The proposed methods reproduce accurately the complicated large-scale behavior of the transport solution within assemblies. The developed discretization is spatially consistent with a fine-mesh discretization of the transport equation in the sense that it preserves a set of spatial moments of the fine-mesh transport solution over either coarse-mesh cells or its subregions, as well as the surface currents and eigenvalue. To demonstrate accuracy of the proposed methods, numerical results are presented of calculations of test problems that simulate the interaction of mixed-oxide and uranium assemblies.
