NRC asks for comments on FY 2026 fees proposal
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is looking for feedback on its proposed rule for fees for fiscal year 2026, which begins October 1. The proposal was published in the March 12 Federal Register.
Based on the FY 2026 budget request because a full-year appropriation has not yet been enacted for the fiscal year, the proposed request is $971.5 million, an increase of $27.4 million from FY 2025.

Methods have been formulated to treat the rod cluster control for present-generation presurized water reactors within the computational codes available at Comitato Nazionale per l’Energia Nucleare (CNEN) for light water reactors. The reliability of these procedures has been verified by comparing the calculated results with the most significant experimental data available from measurements performed by the Centre d’Étude de l’Énergie Nucléaire-Studiecentrum Voor Kernenergie (Belgian Plutonium Recycling Program), Babcock & Wilcox (Lumped Burnable Poison Program), Westinghouse, and CNEN (Italian Nuclear Ship Propulsion Program). Reactivity and power distributions have been evaluated for a wide set of experimental configurations including several types of absorbing rods (e.g., B4C, Pyrex, and Ag-In-Cd alloy) with different radii in different lattices made of various fuel materials (e.g., UO2, PuO2, and UO2/PuO2).
