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.”

Because of twenty five years of tritium experience in the Bruyères-le-Châtel Center (CEA-FRANCE), new activities could be recently undertaken inside the European Fusion Technology Program, especially, tritium studies within the frame work of the Next European Torus (NET). After indicating generalities about our tritium experience in various areas, these following studies are after examined: purification of deuterium-tritium mixtures (DT) by cryosorption on molecular sieves, purification of DT on uranium beds, storage of DT on Lanthanum-Nickel-Manganese, weldability of tritium-helium implanted materials and corrosion of materials by “tritiated waters” species.
