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.

High energy gamma-ray spectra from the radiative capture of 14-MeV neutrons in copper, zirconium, and antimony have been measured with a coincidence-anticoincidence telescope pair spectrometer. These spectra are compared with predictions from calculations using the semidirect (collective) capture model. The parameter values used were derived from other types of experiments and from nuclear models. Agreement is found both in shape and in magnitude without further adjustment of parameters. Partial radiative capture cross sections, obtained by integrating the gamma-ray spectra for gamma energies in excess of 14 MeV, are compared with values from other measurements.
