NRC updating GEIS rule for new nuclear technology
The Nuclear Regulatory Agency is issuing a proposed generic environmental impact statement (GEIS) for use in reviewing applications for new nuclear reactors.
In an April 17 memo, NRC secretary Carrie Safford wrote that the commission approved NRC staff’s recommendation to publish in the Federal Register a proposed rule amending 10 CFR Part 51, “Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions.”

Conceptual design studies have been carried out at the Fusion Engineering Design Center (FEDC) on a succession of tokamak devices. In order to quickly assess the technical feasibility and to estimate the costs of competing poloidal field (PF) systems, it is desirable to develop simple, but accurate, rules for the structural design of these coils. In this paper we describe the rules developed for superconducting ring coils and illustrate their application to a specific example. This methodology may be easily adapted to resistive ring coil design.
