NRC to add new items to categorical exclusions list
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified five categories of action to add to its list of categorical exclusions to reduce its documentation work under National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedures.
These revisions are included in the final rule, “Categorical exclusions from environmental review,” which was published in the Federal Register on March 30. The final rule will become effective on April 29.

Technical Paper | Plasma and Fusion Energy Physics - Plasma Heating and Current Drive | doi.org/10.13182/FST06-A1119
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
This lecture gives an overview of heating and current drive with electron cyclotron waves. We will deal not only with the main theoretical aspects of wave propagation, wave absorption, and non-inductive current drive, but also will discuss some of the important technical aspects for the application of high power electron cyclotron waves and some of the major experimental achievements that have been obtained with electron cyclotron waves.
