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 this paper Pu-Al-D2O lattice experiments are analyzed with primarily ENDF/B data and methods based on asymptotic theory. The effects of varying the 239Pu cross sections in the unresolved-resonance range are calculated. The uncertainties associated with the determination of the radial bucklings are reduced with the use of one-dimensional transport calculations in the radial direction and an assumed exponential dependence in the axial direction. Two-dimensional calculations for a few of the lattices are made to calculate relaxation lengths as well as to determine the applicability of one-dimensional or asymptotic theory methods.
