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.

Currently a joint experimental program is performed on the RUDI injector at the TEXTOR tokamak in a collaboration between the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS and the Research Center Juelich (Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH). The diagnostic injector RUDI is used for charge-exchange recombination spectroscopy (CXRS) diagnostic at the tokamak TEXTOR. Since the spatial resolution and CXRS signal level depend on diagnostic beam divergence and beam full-energy component current density, respectively, these beam parameters should be controlled to provide stable CXRS measurements. The beam density distribution, the angular divergence and the species composition, can be measured optically by spectroscopic means. The absence of perturbations to the beam investigated is one of the main advantages of optical diagnostics.
