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.

Low Energy nuclear Reaction (LENR) Cells are a new way to use nano-structured electrodes in power cells to produce nuclear reactions at low temperature (relative to the temperature for hot fusion). While still in the research stage, this promises ultimate development of “green” nuclear powered “batteries”, offering remarkable energy densities well beyond present technology. The background for this technology and current research on LENR are discussed.
