DOE issues new NEPA rule and procedures—and accelerates DOME reactor testing
Meeting a deadline set in President Trump’s May 23 executive order “Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy,” the DOE on June 30 updated information on its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) rulemaking and implementation procedures and published on its website an interim final rule that rescinds existing regulations alongside new implementing procedures.

The Korean HCSB (Helium Cooled Solid Breeder) TBM (Test Blanket Module), whose breeding zone is composed of lithium ceramic, beryllium and graphite in pebble form, was designed based on LOCAL assumption. In this research, we establish a simple preliminary GLOBAL neutronics model for the Korean HCSB TBM and perform neutronics analyses including depletion (transmutation) calculation during 500EFPDs (Effective Full Power Days) using the modified MONTEBURNS code. The neutronics characteristics for D-D plasma phase are investigated in the preliminary GLOBAL neutronics model, and the results are compared with those of D-T plasma phase. Moreover, we also establish the A-lite based GLOBAL neutronics model for more reliable neutronics calculation, and the results are compared with each other.
