RIC session focuses on interagency collaboration
Attendees at last week’s 2026 Regulatory Information Conference, hosted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, saw extensive discussion of new reactor technologies, uprates, fusion, multiunit deployments, supply chain, and much more.
With the industry in a state of rapid evolution, there was much to discuss. Connected to all these topics was one central theme: the ongoing changes at the NRC. With massively shortened timelines, the ADVANCE Act and Executive Order 14300, and new interagency collaboration and authorization pathways in mind, speakers spent much of the RIC exploring what the road ahead looks like for the NRC.

In this paper, we briefly review the application of the pulsed neutron activation method in flow measurements. We discuss the steps necessary to implement this method and the numerical techniques for data analysis and calculation of the mass flow rate. We also present the analytical solution of the transport equation in a cylindrical pipe to investigate the behavior of the mean concentration as a function of travel time of the activity in the pipe and the distance between the neutron generator and gamma detector.
