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.”

An analysis was made of the surface fluxes of hydrogen species in order to determine the activation energies which affect the bulk and surface inventories in a lithium ceramic. It was found that in the absence of protium, Sievert Law is obeyed and the concentration depends on However, in the presence of protium, the concentration depends on PHT. The bulk and surface concentrations were found to depend on a combination of all four surface energies in the activation energy of solution and the heat of adsorption.
