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 toroidal equilibrium of a poloidal divertor RFP is analyzed as a free boundary problem including an external coil current of a vertical field and a poloidal divertor. Effects of poloidal divertor upon equilibrium parameter of RFP and the proximity of plasma to the conducting shell are investigated and the poloidal divertor configuration is shown to decrease the proximity of plasma to the shell to the value, <rp/aw>≤ 0.75, and be high Θ RFP without additional plasma surface controls.
