NRC’s David Wright visits the Hill and more NRC news
Wright
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is in the spotlight today for three very different reasons. First, NRC Chair David Wright was on Capitol Hill yesterday for his renomination hearing in front of the Senate’s Environment and Public Works Committee. Second, the NRC released its updated milestone schedules according to the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act (NEIMA) and the executive orders signed by President Trump last month; and third, as reported by Reuters on Tuesday, 28 former NRC officials have condemned the dismissal of Commissioner Hanson earlier this month.
Renomination: EPW Committee chair Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R., W.Va.) opened the hearing with a statement praising Wright’s experience and emphasized the urgency of stable leadership at the NRC.
“China is executing a rapid build-out of its nuclear industry,” Capito said. “The demand for clean, baseload power is skyrocketing as we position America to win the AI race.”

The neutron-induced nuclear reactions of 46,47,48,49,50,natTi are calculated and analyzed for the CENDL library. First, one set of optimized optical model potential parameters for n + 46,47,48,49,50,natTi below 20 MeV is obtained. Based on these parameters, the complete neutron data are computed though the UNF and DWUCK4 codes for each of the Ti isotopes and the natural nuclide. All of the theoretical results are compared with the experimental data, together with the updated evaluations of other evaluation libraries. In addition, we verify the new results through the benchmark integral measurements from OKTAVIAN.
