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.”

The author is developing a numerical calculation code to support the design of the air clean-up system based on catalytic oxidation and adsorption. This time, the author developed a numerical computation code that predicts the tritium behavior in large rooms based on the flow field. With this numerical calculation code, the behavior of tritium accidentally released was predicted. The results of calculation indicate the importance of the consideration of flow field for the accurate prediction of tritium behavior.
