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.”

Heavy ion clusters are considered for driving an ICF pellet. They are shown to be effective at much lower energy and intensity than required for atomic ions. Direct pressure imparted to a DT pellet is estimated.
The stopping of strongly correlated ion cluster debris flowing in a degenerate electron jellium target is considered for polarized (with respect to velocity) projectiles. Chains and rectangle geometries are considered. Systematic trends are stressed out.
