White House taps Douglas Weaver for NRC role
The Trump White House has nominated seasoned nuclear regulatory expert Douglas Weaver for a commissioner seat on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. If confirmed, Weaver would fill the seat vacated by NRC commissioner Annie Caputo, who resigned in July.
Weaver’s nomination was sent earlier today to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. If confirmed, he would finish the remainder of Caputo’s term, which expires June 30, 2026.

A method of studying neutron transport properties in H2O-D2O mixtures, both liquid and solid, which extrapolates the neutron thermalization parameters of H2O is described. The decay of pulsed neutrons in the media has been investigated as an example of the application of the method. The results of the calculations agree with the experiment for concentrations up to 50% D2O.
