Nieh confirmed for the NRC
Nieh
Earlier today, the U.S. Senate officially confirmed Ho Nieh in a 66–32 vote to serve as a commissioner on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission through the remainder of a term that will expire June 30, 2029. All present Republicans, alongside 15 Democrats and one Independent, cast their votes in favor of Nieh, who was nominated by President Trump in July and fills the seat left vacant following the dismissal of former commissioner Christopher Hanson.
NRC details: The commission leading the NRC now comprises four members. Nieh joins Chair David Wright and commissioners Bradley Crowell and Matthew Marzano. One spot remains unfilled after the resignation of Annie Caputo in July. President Trump nominated Douglas Weaver earlier this month to fill Caputo’s seat.

The separation properties of the hydrocyclone and the centrifuge were compared with regard to applying the apparatus in the uranium extraction process. The product was applied as a comparative factor where is the average emulsion residence time inside the separator and ā is the acceleration calculated for the mean radius of the separator chamber. The values corresponding to typical operational conditions of centrifuges tested appeared to be significantly higher than those calculated for the hydrocyclone. Separation tests performed with the 1 N HNO3-30% tributyl phos-phate-Mepasine system gave negative results in the case of the hydrocyclone while the complete emulsion separation was attained in various centrifuges under conditions when 9 × 105 cm·s−1. The results obtained suggest that the ≥ product can be applied as the criterion of the satisfactory phase separation in the centrifugal apparatus.
