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 hydraulic results of a series of 21-rod bundle water experiments have been analyzed systematically. Models are established for the prediction of the pressure drop over unblocked bundles, grid spacers, coplanar concentric blockage, coplanar concentric blockage with bypass, noncoplanar concentric blockage, and noncoplanar nonconcentric blockage. The models can be extended to other bundles with similar characteristics. The comparisons of these models with the experimental results agree reasonably well.
