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 Nattoh model predicts that neutron nuclei such as quad-neutrons are produced during cold fusion as a result of the emission of a new particle, the Hon, Several quad-neutron decays have been successfully recorded on nuclear emulsions. Especially important, micro-explosions caused by gravity decay have been clearly observed. This indicates that gravitational energy as well as fusion energy may be available in cold fusion.
