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.

The parallel implementation of three integral transport methods (collision probability, interface current, and current coupling collision probability) for nuclear reactor lattice calculations in two dimensions was completed. A description of this work and performance on the CM-2 and CM-5 platforms are presented here along with comparisons with the serial versions of the methods. For all three methods, the probability calculations proved to be optimal for parallel implementation. Similar success in the overall implementation was achieved only when larger geometrical domains were analyzed.
