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.

The cross section for the reaction 35-h Rh105 (n,γ)30-sec Rh106 has been measured using a TRIGA reactor in the pulsed mode of operation as a neutron source. The effective thermal-neutron (0 to 0.5 eV) cross section was found to be 13 300 ± 1 500 b, relative to a 36-b cross section for Co59 . The cadmium ratio was observed to be ≥ 20 in a neutron flux for which a cadmium ratio of 7 was measured for cobalt.
