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.”

This year the Workforce Development Track has added a discussion around the training, development, and retention of Engineers, including all areas of Engineering Leadership, Design, Programs, Systems, Fuels, etc. Similar to other Departments, the traditional engineering initial training included classroom, mentoring and continuing training has strengths but also has some challenges as well as opportunities to use new methods, systems, and tools, individually and across the industry. To discuss the challenges and opportunities we have brought together this panel to share different ideas and perspectives.
