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.

Half-lives of thirty radionuclides are reported. Most of the samples were chemically purified after bombardment. In general, the activity of a given sample was followed for two or more half-lives, employing a gamma ionization chamber, gamma scintillation counter, or a Geiger-Mueller counter. The data were analyzed by the least squares method. Some of the half-life values are significantly different from earlier ones; others merely confirm those already established.
