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 power supplies for the neutral beam injection and radio-frequency heating systems in the Joint European Torus (JET) are described. The characteristics of the main power supplies are presented. Since JET will become active at a later stage, no components requiring regular maintenance could be installed in the Torus Hall or basement. Therefore, it was necessary to construct a special transmission line and isolation vessel (SF6 tower). Typical power supply pulses are described.
