California bill looks to craft advanced nuclear exception to moratorium
Proposed legislation in California could exempt certain reactor designs from the state’s long-standing moratorium on new nuclear generation, effectively ending the moratorium.
California Assembly Member Lisa Calderon (D., 56th Dist.) filed A.B. 2647 with the California State Assembly last week.
If the bill progresses and becomes state law, it could pave the way to increasing the number of nuclear reactors in the state in the future. Currently, Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant houses the only operational commercial nuclear reactors in California.

Neutron fluence-to-organ dose conversion coefficients (DCCs) were calculated for a Reference Korean-adjusted male voxel model, HDRK-Man, for some standard irradiation geometries of external neutron beams using the Monte Carlo radiation transport code MCNPX. The calculated values were compared with those for other models. The results show that HDRK-Man provides consistent results for the DCC values considering the differences in the voxel models.
