Project Matador joins EIS pilot program; NRC seeks public input
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has released a notice of intent to conduct a scoping process and prepare an environmental impact statement to evaluate Fermi America’s plan to construct and operate four AP1000 reactors at its Project Matador Advanced Energy and Intelligence Campus in Texas.
While that announcement may seem routine, the process envisioned is not. As part of the company’s combined license (COL) application with the NRC, it has agreed to participate in an accelerated environmental review pilot program under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Under this pilot, the applicant(s) develop a draft EIS under NRC supervision.

Loss-cone boundaries have been directly measured using a newly developed diagnostic device in the tandem mirror GAMMA 10. Double loss boundaries clearly appeared in the velocity space of the end-loss ions in the experiment without plug ECRH, and upon turning on the ECRH, the double boundaries changed to a single loss boundary. From a microscopic viewpoint of the ion distribution function, it was verified that plug potential was created turning on ECRH without producing sloshing ions by neutral beam injection. Time evolution of plasma potentials is discussed.
