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.”

Neutronic parameters in a small room surrounded by the thick concrete wall have been measured and compared with the Monte Carlo calculations. The experimental setups were designed appro-Oriately for each neutronic parameter, and a variety of measuring techniques were applied. The comparisons of both measured and calculated results showed excellent agreement.
