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.

The accountancy of tritium stored in the Zirconium-Cobalt (ZrCo) bed with 25 g of tritium storage capacity has been investigated by “in-bed” gas flowing calorimetric method for a few years. This type of calorimetry uses the temperature raise of helium (He) gas circulated through a secondary coil line installed in the ZrCo tritide. Recently, the basic calorimetric characteristics was demonstrated well within 1 % accuracy of the ITER requirement using 22 g of tritium under actual storage system conditions, such as hydrogenation-dehydrogenation of tritium, long-term storage (3He accumulation inside of tritide vessel), and DT mixture storage. Based on the experimental data, a 100 g of tritium storage bed (ITER size) was designed and its calorimetric performance was discussed.
