NRC to add new items to categorical exclusions list
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified five categories of action to add to its list of categorical exclusions to reduce its documentation work under National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedures.
These revisions are included in the final rule, “Categorical exclusions from environmental review,” which was published in the Federal Register on March 30. The final rule will become effective on April 29.

A numerical simulation of decelerating, scattering, and trapping fast electrons by plasma in a magnetic trap is reported. Fast non-thermal electrons are generated via the interaction of the relativistic electron beam with the plasma. Their energy significantly exceeds the thermal energy of plasma particles. For real experimental conditions where the mean free path of electrons is larger than the length of a local magnetic pit, the kinetic equation for distribution function of electrons is numerically solved. The effect of electron scattering and trapping into the pit is calculated.
