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.”

A library of cross-sections BISERM has been developed for the analysis of radiation damage sensitivity of nuclear power plant structural materials irradiated by nucleons of energies up to 800 MeV. The library contains information on neutron and proton displacement cross-sections, helium and hydrogen production cross-sections for 190 isotopes. The evaluation of the given cross-sections has been performed with a set of DIDACS/90 codes developed by the authors.
