NRC to add new items to categorical exclusions list
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified five categories of action to add to its list of categorical exclusions to reduce its documentation work under National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedures.
These revisions are included in the final rule, “Categorical exclusions from environmental review,” which was published in the Federal Register on March 30. The final rule will become effective on April 29.

R&D activities on the tritium storage and delivery system include the development of getter beds to increase tritium recovery and delivery performance, the investigation of tritium reaction characteristics with ZrCo metal-hydride, in-bed calorimetry as tritium measurement techniques, and the development of process design technologies for the storage and delivery system such as pump performance test and bed simulator. The current status of the R&D activities on these subjects is addressed in this paper.
