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 tritium gas obtained from a tritium production campaign was analyzed with a practical radiogas Chromatograph, which enabled one to make successive determination of the chemical and isotopic purity of the gas. The calibration of thermal conductivity detector for hydrogen gases showed that sensitivities of detector were H2>HT>T2 in that order. The chemical and isotopic purity of the tritium gas produced was determined to be 99.0% and 93.6%, respectively.
