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.”

Experiments were performed to obtain detailed adsorption and desorption characteristics of tritium (HT) by Cryogenic Molecular Sieve Bed (CMSB) in liquid nitrogen temperature under the simulated Breeding Blanket Interface (BBI) condition. Computer simulation analyses gave the values of separation factor and mass transfer coefficient of HT in H2, which are very important basic parameters for the optimum design of CMSB process in BBI.
