NRC proposed rule for licensing reactors authorized by DOE, DOD
Nuclear reactor designs approved by the Department of Energy or Department of Defense could get streamlined pathways through the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s commercial licensing process should applicants wish to push the technology into the civilian sector.
A proposed rule introduced April 2 by the NRC would “improve NRC licensing review efficiency, where applicable, by explicitly establishing by regulation an additional means for reactor applicants to demonstrate the safety functions of their reactor designs, and thus, would contribute to the safe and secure use and deployment of civilian nuclear energy technologies.”

The geometrical efficiency equation for a proton recoil telescope exposed to a monoenergetic point neutron source is solved by a power series expansion that permits simple and accurate reduction of raw telescope data to absolute neutron fluxes or source strengths. Two parameters are allotted for description of source anisotropy and three parameters are allotted for description of hydrogen scattering anisotropy in the center-of-mass system. The relativistic transformation of the hydrogen differential scattering cross section from center-of-mass to laboratory system is used.
