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.”

Two kinds of tunable coherent photons for positronium formation and annihilation can be generated by coalescing focused, high-intensity e and e+ beams which are accelerated in the same direction. Positronium formation can be enhanced by laser irradiation or by installing an undulator magnetic field in cases where the density of e and e+ plasma is not high. In the case of very high density, slender rod-type geometry plasma, positronium can be formed by super-radiant, superfluorescence, or amplified, spontaneous emission processes, and a coherent laser can be generated.
