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 novel plasma diagnostic technique for simultaneous measurements of internal magnetic fields, ion temperature, and plasma potential is described. This technique consists of the injection of a 120-keV, 5-mA (current equivalent) neutral xenon beam into a magnetized plasma and the detection of radiation and xenon ions, which result from interaction of xenon atoms with hydrogen ions. This system is shown to be particularly suitable for devices like the Princeton Large Torus and other mainline machines.
