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.

The heat flux and fluid flow conditions for a water cooled limiter tube are simulated with an electron beam heating apparatus, and the results are compared to empirical models based on existing heat transfer correlations. For the conditions of highly subcooled flow boiling in a horizontal tube subjected to a heat flux from only one side, two principal observations were noted. First, existing heat flux correlations, which were developed for use with uniform circumferential heat flux distributions, can be used to provide a good first approximation of the one-sided heat removal for the range of experimental conditions covered. Second, the peak heat flux at the tube surface predicts the onset of critical heat flux (burnout) better than the average heat flux.
