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.”

Many experiments with tokamak plasma have shown that such a plasma was a very complicated state of matter. A lot of different non-linear processes develop in plasma. Some of them look like a turbulence but this turbulence coexists with non-linear structures strongly coupled each other. As a result many non-linear phenomena develop which look like self-organization. This self-organization manifests itself in transport phenomena.
