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 analytical expressions for the average ion range R, projected range Rp, and ion straggling DRP in the projected range are presented. To determine the above-mentioned parameters, the approximation for nuclear stopping power Sn was used. The exemplary calculations of Rp, DRP, and the concentration distribution of arsenic implanted into silicon were performed. The results were compared with experimental data, achieving satisfactory agreement.
