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.

Quasi-infinite medium neutron spectra have been measured as a function of moderator temperature and poison concentrations in water. Three different poisons were used: a l/υ absorber (boron), and the resonance absorbers erbium and gadolinium. These measurements were performed utilizing the General Atomic Linac and standard time-of-flight techniques. The temperature range covered was from ambient to about 300°C. The measurements were compared to the latest theoretical models using the best known calculational techniques available. The scattering kernel based on the modified Haywood frequency spectra and computed by the GASKET-FLANGE computer codes appears to give the best agreement with the experimental data.
