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.”

Hydrogen retention property on isotropic graphite was studied by exposure with a high flux atomized D/T particles. From the analysis of thermal desorption spectra it is clarified that deuterium implanted to graphite existed in two different states, one was that in a trap site the other was that of C-D bond. The amount of deuterium retained in graphite was in proportion to a half power of total incident fluence and no saturation was observed up to 1026 atoms·m−2. The total hydrogen isotope retention in the sample exposed to atomized D/T particles with total incident fluence of 1025 – 1026 atoms·m−2 were in the range of 1 × 1022−4 × 1022 atoms·m−2.1Visiting researcher from Toshiba Co.
