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.”

This paper describes the low level radioactive and mixed wastes generated at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) by the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) operations. The D-T operations are in progress and will continue through most of 1995. The data presented is for the wastes generated at the TFTR facility in calendar year (CY) 1994.
