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.”

Elastic parameters (the Young's, shear, and bulk moduli; the Lamé parameter; the Poisson ratio; and the Debye temperature) and shear damping anomalies accompanied by the generation of excess heat (not less than 6 W) were observed between 116 and 190 K in deuterated palladium, PdD0.719, suggesting dynamic interactions among deuterons squeezed between tetrahedral and octahedral interstices in the palladium face-centered-cubic lattice.
