NRC asks for comments on FY 2026 fees proposal
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is looking for feedback on its proposed rule for fees for fiscal year 2026, which begins October 1. The proposal was published in the March 12 Federal Register.
Based on the FY 2026 budget request because a full-year appropriation has not yet been enacted for the fiscal year, the proposed request is $971.5 million, an increase of $27.4 million from FY 2025.

The Dancoff correction to the surface term of a resonance integral has hitherto required tedious numerical evaluation of a double integral in cylindrical geometry. A recognition of the functional dependence of the correction on moderator mean free path λ allows a great simplification. If 1 - C is the surface correction for two rods of radius, ρ, separated a distance d between centers, then where is a function monotonically increasing with d/ρ, for which a graph is given. A simple formula is also given for C of a hollow rod’s interior.
