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.”

The tritium facility at KMS Fusion, Inc. supports our Inertial Confinement Fusion research program. The main function of the facility is to fill glass or polymer shells to a maximum pressure of 100 atm. with tritium (T2) or deuterium-tritium (DT). The apparatus and procedures used in this process are described including provisions for tritium containment and monitoring. An estimate of equipment costs is given.
