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.

Turbulent mixing rates between adjacent subchannels were obtained at 50 psia for annular flow of air-water mixtures in a simulated square-square rod bundle geometrical array using a tracer technique. The gap spacing was varied by a factor of 5. Mixing rates were found to be flow regime dependent, decreasing exponentially with subchannel mass flux and quality and increasing with gap spacing. Enhanced liquid interchange was measured in the low quality bubble flow regime and high quality annular flow regime. The results presented here are in qualitative agreement with data obtained by other investigators using steam-water at elevated pressures.
