NRC updating GEIS rule for new nuclear technology
The Nuclear Regulatory Agency is issuing a proposed generic environmental impact statement (GEIS) for use in reviewing applications for new nuclear reactors.
In an April 17 memo, NRC secretary Carrie Safford wrote that the commission approved NRC staff’s recommendation to publish in the Federal Register a proposed rule amending 10 CFR Part 51, “Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions.”

This paper presents a project of near future research on confinement of plasma with quasi-reactor parameters in axially symmetric magnetic mirrors. Features of axial losses and transverse transport are considered from the point of view of results obtained on the gas dynamic trap in the past few years. A diagnostic complex for planned research is described.
