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.
Plenary Session
Monday, December 11, 2023|8:00–9:00AM CST|Galerie 3
Nuclear energy has been substantially enabled by the presence of materials that can withstand the harsh temperature and radiation temperature environments associated with the production of nuclear power. As we look forward to the future role of nuclear energy, the deployment of higher temperature reactors, higher radiation environments associated with fast spectrum and fusion reactors, and waste forms for advanced reactors will require continued advances in materials research to address these opportunities and challenges. ARPA-E has funded some materials research and this talk will highlight future needs, as well as some previously funded efforts.
