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 dynamic measurement of the reaction in T2-CO 1:1 mixed gas was carried out using laser Raman spectroscopy. A catastrophic change was observed in the Raman spectra due to appearance of fine particles floating in the quartz Raman cell at about 100 min after mixing. Assignment of the new peaks on the spectra due to appearance of the particles was not successful. An attempt to specify the solid reaction product by mass spectroscopic analysis of the gas phase constituent showed the elemental formula of the product was about C1.4: T3.0: O1.0.
