White House taps Douglas Weaver for NRC role
The Trump White House has nominated seasoned nuclear regulatory expert Douglas Weaver for a commissioner seat on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. If confirmed, Weaver would fill the seat vacated by NRC commissioner Annie Caputo, who resigned in July.
Weaver’s nomination was sent earlier today to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. If confirmed, he would finish the remainder of Caputo’s term, which expires June 30, 2026.

A radiation damage model that accounts for neutron spectral differences between irradiation locations has been applied to pertinent data on the change in ductile-to-brittle transition temperature for A302B pressure vessel steel. The resulting correlation supports the contention that such a damage model provides a physically more meaningful measure of exposure than the usually cited neutron flux above 1 MeV. A physically reasonable estimate of the functional dependence of this correlation has been fitted by a least-squares method to these data, and a technique for assigning one-sided tolerance limits is described.
