NRC updating GEIS rule for new nuclear technology
The Nuclear Regulatory Agency is issuing a proposed generic environmental impact statement (GEIS) for use in reviewing applications for new nuclear reactors.
In an April 17 memo, NRC secretary Carrie Safford wrote that the commission approved NRC staff’s recommendation to publish in the Federal Register a proposed rule amending 10 CFR Part 51, “Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions.”

A variable size and variable energy cluster beam injection system is proposed for fueling and heating / current-drive in a next-step magnetically-confined fusion experimental reactor. Most of the technologies for this system are presently available. Thus these auxiliary systems around the reactor would be unified and simplified with a minimum technological step.
