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.

Offshore and floating nuclear power plants are being considered a viable clean energy option for providing reliable power at sea, with the prospects of providing even faster voyages.
However, marine transport and nuclear energy both have their own unique security challenges that are systematically addressed by various international and country-specific standards, as well as, regulatory frameworks.
