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.”

Tritium contaminated wastes in gaseous, liquid and solid forms will be generated during the operation and maintenance of the European Tritium Handling Experimental Laboratory. All such wastes must be adequately processed to minimise any tritium losses to the environment. This paper initially discusses the objectives regarding liquid and solid waste handling, processing and storage at the laboratory. Later, the various plant and procedures to be employed for achieving these goals are described.
