DOE issues new NEPA rule and procedures—and accelerates DOME reactor testing
Meeting a deadline set in President Trump’s May 23 executive order “Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy,” the DOE on June 30 updated information on its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) rulemaking and implementation procedures and published on its website an interim final rule that rescinds existing regulations alongside new implementing procedures.

A counter current extraction system is proposed here to recover tritium from 17Li-83Pb. The multiple stage extraction system is used to reduce the resistance to the molecular diffusion in the liquid phase, while a counter current helium purge gas is used to reduce the resistance in the gas phase. To reduce the purge gas requirement and alleviate the tritium containment problem, hydrogen is added to the purge gas. An isotope separation system is designed to separate the hydrogen from the tritium.
