(WNN) CENTRUS, a key nuclear fuel and services company says it will no longer be able to deliver the anticipated 900 kg of material under the second part of its contract with the US Department of Energy. The reason is a shortage of storage cylinders expected to be supplied by DOE to sto...
which typically contains up to 5% uranium-235. It will be needed by most of the advanced reactor designs being developed under the US Department of Energy's (DOE's) Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program. The lack of a commercial
The NRC has developed regulations and procedures to conduct a licensing review of a proposed geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, in a technically defensible, legally sound, and transparent manner. Part 63 under Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (, 10 CFR 63) ...

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is the federal agency responsible for implementing EPA's radiation exposure standards through regulation of nuclear power reactors and many other uses of radiation. The Department of Energy (DOE) also implements these standards at facilities under their supervision...
To check the expression profiles of SP105 under different inducement conditions, day 1 fifth instar larvae from the same batch were injected into the hemocoel with 3 μl of sterile water containing formaline-killed E. coli DH5α (2 × 105 cells/μl), dried M...
Computers are made of 60 minerals, many quite rare with no substitutable elements (EC 2017, NRC 2008, Graedel 2015). Fortunately the abacus can be made entirely with renewable wood. Bardi (2014) wrote “The limits to mineral extraction are not limits of quantity; they are limits of energy....
We then analyzed the combined effect of TNF and TRAIL on the cells under study. Overall, the three cervical cancer-derived cell lines were resistant to treatment with these cytokines. Again, keratinocytes transduced with HPV11 or HPV16 E6 and E7 genes were also resistant to the combined action...
(Rehani et al. 2019). It is important to consider that the highest doses may be confined to tissues that are in the vicinity of that part of the body under scrutiny, and the individual exposures could be temporally separated by periods of days. Nonetheless, dose rates during exposure are ...
NRC provides a good overview of existing, pending, and the need for future land and groundwater remediation programs that will be needed to fully “restore” these resource extraction sites, and the caveat that “it is unlikely there will be much additional accumulation of mill tailings in the...
