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.

The equivalence between 235U and 233U for use in light water reactors has been determined by comparing the performance of the two isotopes over the complete length of the fuel cycle. The method developed in this work has been applied to a uranium cycle as well as to a denatured thorium cycle. A basic price based on the initial substitution method has also been estimated for 233U.
