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 computerized tomography (CT) system for the translation experiment of field-reversed configuration (FRC) is completed on the FIX device. This system is composed of three detector arrays which are sensitive to the near infrared radiation. To avoid light reflection at the vacuum wall, a black anodized aluminum panel is installed just inside of the metal chamber. Two dimensional distribution of the light emissivity of a translated FRC plasma is reconstructed using the Fourier-Bessel expansion technique.
