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 IGNITEX concept proposed by Profs. Rosenbluth, Weldon and Woodson along the lines of Prof. Coppi's idea for a compact thermonuclear experiment has the potential to produce and control ignited plasmas with relative simplicity and low cost. This paper discusses the design and construction methodologies that will be adopted for the construction of some of the key components of the facility for the fusion ignition experiment IGNITEX. A master schedule in the form of a bar chart derived from a CPM network developed for the IGNITEX project is presented. The level of detail in this paper is consistent with the degree of development of the IGNITEX design to date.
