Weaver NRC reappointment gets OK, Senate vote next
The U.S. Senate’s Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee has recommended Douglas Weaver be reappointed to a full five-year term on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission after his current term expires on June 30.
The committee voted 15-4 in support of Weaver’s nomination on Wednesday, clearing the way for a final vote on the Senate floor. If the Senate votes to confirm Weaver, he would serve on the NRC through June 30, 2031.

A high sensitivity radionuclide analysis system has been developed. An automated system employs an ion exchange method to concentrate target nuclides in reactor coolant water. The system consists of sample treatment equipment and an automatic sample changer in conjunction with a multichannel gamma-ray spectrum analyzer. The sample treatment equipment performs sampling, filtration, sample volume selection, and ion exchange. These four processes are fully automated. Performance tests show that the lowest analysis level is 10-6 μCi/ml of 131I within 10% reproducibility. The processing time from sampling to ion exchange is within 10 min for samples <100 ml.
