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.

In this Note we report on a technique for determining a two-dimensional time-dependent response function using a one-dimensional solution of the transport equation for a homogeneous medium. Basic to this technique is the calculation of the adjoint function. We have determined the asymmetric energy deposition rate in air from a spatial asymmetric source as an example of the method.
