NRC provides timeline update on rules, meeting EO deadline
Last May, President Trump issued Executive Order (EO) 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” which mandated that the NRC review and overhaul its rules within 18 months of the EO being issued.
At a public meeting on Thursday, NRC officials shared details and an overview of the rulemaking process, saying that they were on target to have these rules ready by the November 23 deadline.

Transition boiling heat transfer data from Semiscale Mod-3 gravity feed reflood experiments have been compared to existing transition boiling correlations. The existing correlations were found to be inadequate for predicting the Semiscale rod bundle data; therefore, a new correlation for transition boiling was developed. The new correlation is applicable for boiling water with stainless steel, electrically heated vertical rods in a pressure range of 138 to 414 kPa. When the new transition boiling correlation is combined with the Berenson film boiling correlation, a good fit to Semiscale reflood data results.
