DOE issues new NEPA rule and procedures—and accelerates DOME reactor testing
Meeting a deadline set in President Trump’s May 23 executive order “Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy,” the DOE on June 30 updated information on its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) rulemaking and implementation procedures and published on its website an interim final rule that rescinds existing regulations alongside new implementing procedures.

Fully 3-dimensional model for Monte-Carlo simulation code (DEGAS) was newly applied in the GAMMA 10 central cell. Based on the measurement and DEGAS simulation, neutral transport during the gas puffing and neutral beam injection (NBI) in the central cell is investigated. The predicted H profile using DEGAS well explained the experimental result. It is clarified that the localized neutral source has much influence on the behavior of neutral particles in the plasma. In this paper, detailed discussion is shown from the view point of both the experiment and the simulation.
