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.”

A quasi-one-dimensional model examines the electrochemical loading of isotopic fuel into a metal cathode. Both the competitive evolution of gas at that cathode and the ratio of the electric energy to thermal energy may control the spatial distribution and loading rate.
