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.

Continuous neutron slowing down theory, as generalized to incorporate inelastic scattering, has been combined with integral transport theory by use of the separable kernel analogy. The result is a matrix form of continuous slowing down theory where the matrices involved are direct generalizations of the scalar quantities encountered in continuous slowing down theory. The approach has been applied to the calculation of space-dependent spectra in uranium and iron single-region problems and in two-region problems involving uranium and iron. In general, very good agreement with more precise calculations is obtained.
