DOE announces NEPA exclusion for advanced reactors
The Department of Energy has announced that it is establishing a categorical exclusion for the application of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedures to the authorization, siting, construction, operation, reauthorization, and decommissioning of advanced nuclear reactors.
According to the DOE, this significant change, which goes into effect today, “is based on the experience of DOE and other federal agencies, current technologies, regulatory requirements, and accepted industry practice.”

With the implementation of Hydrogen Production at hand here in the U.S. and the potential benefits to be derived in light of today’s environment, this session will provide a multi-faceted perspective of hydrogen production for potential implementation across the operating fleet. This panel will be prepared to discuss the opportunities & challenges facing sites considering such efforts as well as the status of current efforts on going here in the US, the lessons being learned in the process, and expectations for the near future. Planned perspectives include a diverse panel from near-term operating plant implementation, industry research, government research & support organizations. A brief update by each panel member will precede the panel discussion with the hope and expectation of driving informative dialogue.
