NRC shares details on proposed rules to streamline hearing timelines
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s adjudicatory hearings have not received any significant reforms since 2004. In fact, according to NRC staff, these Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) hearings have only undergone major reform three times in the board’s history.
That would change under a proposed rule that was issued earlier this month. At a March 19 virtual meeting, NRC staff provided more details on the proposed changes.

Plant signals from the Borssele nuclear power plant in the Netherlands were analyzed to investigate the characteristics of neutron flux fluctuation in the low-frequency range 0 to 0.5 Hz, focusing on its spatially coherent motion. The second azimuthal oscillation mode was observed at the frequency of ~0.03 Hz while the corewide oscillation mode was at ~0.1 Hz, and the fluctuation at the corewide mode was much stronger.
