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.

Gamma-ray spectra were obtained at θy = 125 deg for reactions involving neutron interactions with a sample of natural calcium. Cross sections for the production of gamma rays have been deduced from these spectra as a function of both neutron and photon energy. The data were obtained using a Nal spectrometer system and the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator as the neutron source. The experimental results have been compared with predictions based on the gamma-ray files of the current Defense Nuclear Agency evaluation for calcium (Mat 4152 Mod 3) and with previous experimental data. Although there is generally good (15%) agreement, important differences are discussed.
