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.

In the rf-produced plasma, it will be a possible mechanism for the density clamping that the eigenmodes are formed in the axial direction. The higher frequency waves are effective for the higher density plasma production. On the conditions of such a saturation region, we observed clear increase of the density by using fast Alfvén wave with a frequency of tenth cyclotron higher harmonics at the midplane of the central cell. The increasing rate depends on the rf power. An increase of high energy ions is observed with the high frequency wave injection.
